Quarterback Jalen Hurts is poised to return to the Philadelphia Eagles’ lineup when they open the playoffs Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Hurts was cleared under the return-to-play provisions of the NFL concussion protocol, Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni said Friday.

After missing the end of the NFL regular season due to a concussion, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles Nick Sirianni spoke about Jalen Hurts' current situation and his future.

When Hurts was injured, the Eagles deployed backup passer Kenny Pickett, who led an admirable attempt to take over the game against Washington but, ultimately, fell. As the playoffs drew nearer, Philadelphia was aware that they were out of reach of the 1-seed in the NFC but also out of reach of the other division-winners behind them.

Jalen Hurts has cleared the NFL concussion protocol and will start for the Philadelphia Eagles in their NFC wild-card game Sunday against Green Bay.

Chase Daniel breaks down what Jalen Hurts needs to do for the Philadelphia Eagles to pick up a Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams in the City of Brotherly Love.

Jalen Hurts knows the numbers everyone talks about: 131 passing yards, 5.3 yards per attempt, 21 attempts, six passing first downs, seven attempts over 10+ air yards, one attempt over 25+ air yards. He's not oblivious.

But it's hard to ignore Hurts' 43-12 record as a starter since the Eagles were 2-5 midway through the 2021 season. The Eagles have gone 14-3 in both 2022 and this season, tying the best regular-season records in franchise history.
