What Happened?

In the first quarter, Hurts ran for 13 yards but collided with two defenders and hit his head on the ground. The medical team checked him on the sidelines and then took him to the locker room for more tests under the NFL’s concussion rules.

Live Updates on Jalen Hurts

December 23, 2024, 10:00 AM ET: Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters, “We are closely monitoring Jalen’s progress. He’s in good spirits but will need to clear several steps before returning.”
Insider sources report that Hurts participated in light team meetings but has not yet returned to on-field practice.
The team’s medical staff confirmed Hurts is still in the early stages of concussion protocol. A decision on his availability might not come until game day.

Latest Update on Hurts

The Eagles’ medical staff said, “Jalen Hurts is undergoing further evaluations, and his status remains day-to-day.” This means it’s unclear if he will play in the big game against the New York Giants on December 29, 2024.

Hurts is very important for the Eagles as they fight for a top playoff spot. Fans are eagerly waiting for more updates.

Predictions if Hurts Can’t Play

If Hurts can’t play, Kenny Pickett will start as quarterback. Here’s what we predict could happen:

Offensive Strategy: The Eagles may rely heavily on their running backs and use short, quick passes to minimize mistakes. Look for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to play key roles in the passing game.
Defense Stepping Up: The Eagles’ defense will need to focus on shutting down the Giants’ running game and forcing turnovers to keep the team in a strong position.
Outcome Prediction: While losing Hurts would be a setback, the Eagles have enough depth to keep the game close. Expect a low-scoring battle if Pickett starts.
