Jalen Hurts’ 2024 regular season ended in Week 16, but the Eagles star quarterback is rested and set to return to practice.
Philadelphia will begin on-field preparation for wild card Sunday today, and Jeff McLane reports that Hurts should be on the field.
Jalen Hurts is slated to be at #Eagles practice today, sources said. A notable step forward as the QB works his way out of concussion protocol and prepares to start in Sunday’s first round playoff game vs. the Packers.

Hurts was 1-4 passing for 11 yards and had three carries for 41 yards before exiting for the blue medical tent against the Commanders three weeks ago.
In Week 17, Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee tossed touchdown passes as Philadelphia dominated Dallas 41-7 at Lincoln Financial Field. Pickett is nursing broken ribs and missed the season finale, but Tanner McKee shined in a win over the Giants.
With Hurts set to return, Philadelphia waived Ian Book on Tuesday.
