The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for their regular-season finale against the New York Giants, with head coach Nick Sirianni indicating that several key players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, may be rested. Hurts has not practiced since suffering a concussion in Week 16, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming wild card playoff game. Sirianni emphasized the importance of following medical protocols and taking things day by day.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins are facing a similar situation with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who may miss a critical game against the New York Jets due to a hip injury. His absence could significantly impact Miami's playoff aspirations.
In other news, Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers will sit out the final game of the season due to a right elbow injury, leaving Joshua Dobbs to start in his place. The team faces a decision regarding Purdy's contract as he enters the last year of his rookie deal.
