Jalen Hurts remains under concussion protocol as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for a crucial playoff clash against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Head Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that no new updates are available regarding Hurts' condition. The Eagles will likely provide further details following their first practice on Wednesday, including an official injury report.
If Hurts can practice, it could signal his return after a three-week absence due to a concussion sustained in a game against the Commanders. His last full practice occurred on December 20, raising concerns about his timing with receivers.
In Hurts' absence, backups Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee have stepped up. Pickett managed a notable performance against the Cowboys despite suffering from broken ribs, while McKee had a promising start, throwing two touchdowns and connecting well with various receivers. If Hurts is unable to go, McKee is considered the most likely starter, given his health and recent performance.
