In addition to Hurts being in the NFL's concussion protocol, backup Kenny Pickett is dealing with a rib injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. Hurts sustained his concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, and with Pickett banged up as well, the status of both signal callers is worth monitoring closely ahead of this weekend's game against the Cowboys. For now, the Eagles' healthiest option at the QB position is Tanner McKee.

In addition to Hurts being in the NFL's concussion protocol, backup Kenny Pickett is dealing with a rib injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. Hurts sustained his concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, and with Pickett banged up as well, the status of both signal callers is worth monitoring closely ahead of this weekend's game against the Cowboys. For now, the Eagles' healthiest option at the QB position is Tanner McKee.
Hurts (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Commanders. Prior to being forced out of the contest, Hurts completed one of four pass attempts for 11 yards and ran three times for 41 yards. In his absence, Kenny Pickett has taken over at quarterback for the Eagles.
Hurts is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game at Washington. At the end of a 13-yard run in the first quarter, Hurts was sandwiched by a pair of Commanders defenders and seemed to be a bit dazed when he got to his feet. He was removed from the game, visited the sideline tent and appeared poised to return to the field before going to the locker room. If Hurts is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll yield QB duties to Kenny Pickett for the rest of Week 16.
Hurts completed 25 of 32 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. He added 15 rushes for 45 yards and an additional score. The effectiveness of the Eagles' passing attack was in question throughout the week, as Hurts had failed to top 200 passing yards in three straight games. He silenced those questions in an excellent Week 15 showing by averaging 9.1 yards per attempt while completing six passes of at least 20 yards. Hurts also threw for multiple touchdowns for only the sixth time this season, while supplementing it with his 14th rushing score of the campaign. All of that production came despite playing through a broken finger, an injury that Hurts confirmed after the game, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Hurts completed 14 of 21 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns while adding 59 rushing yards and a TD on eight carries in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers. For the third straight game and the sixth time this season, Hurts failed to throw for 200 yards, with Sunday's total being his lowest of the year. He made up for it by producing three TDs, including a four-yard strike to Grant Calcaterra early in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the winning score. Hurts has 13 rushing touchdowns on the season, leaving him two short of tying the NFL quarterback record of 15 he shares with Josh Allen, a mark they both reached in 2023. Hurts faces a stingy secondary in Week 15 against the Steelers.
Hurts completed 11 of 19 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens. He added nine rushing attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown. Hurts threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert (knee) in the second quarter, then added a one-yard rushing touchdown later in the first half to put the Eagles up 14-9. The rushing score came on a tush push, as Hurts fumbled the snap but picked it up and lunged over the goal line for his 12th rushing touchdown in as many games. Hurts surprisingly didn't find much traction through the air against Baltimore's struggling secondary, but the Eagles rode running back Saquon Barkley and the defense to an eighth consecutive win. Hurts' ability to produce with both his arm and legs will make him a strong fantasy option as usual in Week 14 against the Panthers, especially if the Eagles get wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) back from a two-game absence.
Hurts (ankle) completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 179 yards and a touchdown while rushing 12 times for 39 additional yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams. Star tailback Saquon Barkley went off for over 300 total yards and two scores Sunday, leaving little work for the passing game in a lopsided victory. On a positive note, Hurts did not appear limited on his 12 rushing attempts after dealing with a minor ankle injury during the practice week. The dual-threat quarterback is completing a career-best 69 percent of his passes this season with 24 combined trips to the end zone over 11 contests. Hurts should continue being an elite QB in fantasy when Philadelphia visits Baltimore next Sunday.
Hurts (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice. Hurts entered a maintenance program for an ankle injury that he suffered during last Thursday's win versus the Commanders., resulting in a limited session this Wednesday. As expected, though, he got back to all activity one day later and thus is set to continue to lead the Eagles offense Sunday night against the Rams. Since heading into a Week 5 bye with a 4:4 TD:INT and two rushing touchdowns in four contests, Hurts has been off and running, completing 92 of 131 passes (70.2 percent) for 1,267 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception, recording 61 carries for 254 yards and another nine TDs and losing one fumble over the last six games.
Hurts was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury. Hurts told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that the Eagles have had him on a "mini-program" due to a lower-body issue he's been dealing with since last Thursday's win against the Commanders. There's an expectation that Hurts will follow up Wednesday's capped session with full participation Thursday and Friday, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com. The aforementioned regimen thus will allow Hurts to continue to lead Philadelphia's offense Sunday night at the Rams.
