Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown while rushing 10 times for 16 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 55-23 win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts quickly answered any questions about the health of his knee by powering in a one-yard rushing touchdown on the brotherly shove in the second quarter to cap a drive he extended by converting on fourth-and-5 with a 31-yard pass to A.J. Brown. The dual-threat quarterback then had a 17-yard touchdown run taken off the board by a holding penalty but threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Brown five plays later to help the Eagles take a 27-15 lead into the locker room. Hurts added a nine-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and another on a one-yard sneak in the fourth as the Eagles piled up seven rushing scores in this lopsided win to reach the Super Bowl for the second time in Hurts' tenure with the team. They'll either have a rematch of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs or face the Bills in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

Hurts doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders, but he expects to wear a brace on the left knee that he injured during the Eagles' divisional-round win versus the Rams, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Hurts opened the week with a limited walkthrough Wednesday, but he followed it up with back-to-back uncapped sessions, thereby clearing him for Sunday's contest. The aforementioned health concern appeared to hinder him down the stretch this past Sunday, but he mentioned Friday that his left knee has "been progressing." As a result, the potential exists for Hurts' notable mobility to be scaled back somewhat, which could result in an even more run-focused game plan featuring standout running back Saquon Barkley.
Hurts (knee) practiced fully Thursday. Hurts hurt his left knee during this past Sunday's divisional-round win versus the Rams. He operated with a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walkthrough, after which he said, "I'm progressing, taking it a day at a time," per Eric Edholm of NFL.com. Hurts proceeded to handle a full workload Thursday, clearing him up ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. In his one full game versus Washington this season back in Week 11, he completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and took 10 carries for 39 yards and one TD.
Hurts (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate. The Eagles held a walk-through Wednesday, so key context with regard to Hurts' standing for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Commanders will arrive after Thursday's practice. On the plus side, per Zach Berman of The Athletic, the quarterback -- who was shaken up during this past weekend's divisional-round win over the Rams -- noted Wednesday that he's feeling better and expects to be available versus Washington.
Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding 70 rushing yards and a TD on seven carries in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams. For the second straight postseason game, Hurts threw for under 150 yards, but this time he bolstered his production with a 44-yard dash to the end zone early in the first quarter -- the longest touchdown run of his career. The QB did get checked out in the medical tent in the third quarter for a potential leg injury after taking a sack, but he didn't end up missing a snap. Hurts will try to lead the Eagles into the Super Bowl next weekend in the NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.
Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers. He added 36 rushing yards on six carries. The Philly offense didn't need to do too much on a day when an injury-ravaged Green Bay passing game had trouble making anything happen, but Hurts picked his spots. The QB hit Jahan Dotson for an 11-yard score on the Eagles' first possession, then connected with Dallas Goedert for a 24-yard TD late in the second quarter. Hurts has an 8:0 TD:INT over his last five full games, not counting the Week 16 contest from which he exited early, and he appears fully recovered from his concussion heading into the divisional round.
Hurts cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday's game against the Packers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. This was the expected outcome once Hurts progressed from a limited practice Wednesday to full participation Thursday. He'll return for the wild-card round after missing the final two games of the regular season.
Hurts (concussion/left finger) practiced in full Thursday. Per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal, Hurts led quarterback drills for a second practice in a row Thursday, upgrading from limited to all activity in the process. As Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Hurts still waits clearance from an independent neurologist from the concussion that he suffered in the first quarter of a Week 16 loss at Washington, but he has two days left to do so ahead of Sunday's wild-card contest against the Packers.
Hurts (concussion/left finger) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday. Despite not practicing prior to absences Weeks 17 and 18 due to a concussion suffered Week 16, Hurts reportedly was making progress through the five-step protocol, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. During the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Hurts was seen warming up, throwing passes and taking part in agility drills, and Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer also noted that Hurts also was the first quarterback in positional drills ahead of Kenny Pickett (ribs) and Tanner McKee. With an official limited listing to begin the week, Hurts still has some work to do to gain clearance from an independent neurologist ahead of Sunday's wild-card contest versus the Packers, but he's at least put himself on a path to do so.
