Eagles QB Hurts also in doubt for Week 17 game • FootballR

reading time: 2 min

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is also doubtful for the Week 17 encounter against the New Orleans Saints due to his shoulder sprain.

Hurts, who has already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, is suffering from a sprained joint in his throwing shoulder.

How the NFC playoff picture stacks up and how Hurts is responding to treatment will help the Eagles decide if the quarterback will make a return against the Saints.

Hurts will try to play despite the injury should the Eagles lose to the Cowboys on Saturday. Philadelphia is one win away from securing home field advantage in the playoffs.

Former second-round pick Hurts is having a fantastic season. He has personal bests for completion rate (67.3%), passing yards (3,472), passing touchdowns (22), and passer rating (104.6). He also has 13 rushing scores.

Gardner Minshew will start in his place against the Cowboys.
