Jalen Hurts injury updates: Latest news on Eagles QB

Philadelphia has advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the eighth time under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership. This marks the second-most conference championship games in the NFL since 2001, behind New England (13).

The Eagles returned to practice on Thursday, and star quarterback Jalen Hurts was a full participant with no designation.

In Philadelphia’s NFC divisional round win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Hurts was sacked and bent back awkwardly. He appeared to injure his knee on the play but remained in the game.

Hurts ranked among the top 8 in the league in yards per attempt (4th, 8.0), passer rating (5th, career-high 103.7), completion percentage (8th, career-high 68.7%) and total TDs (8th, 32) in the regular season.

In addition, Hurts tied for the 5th-most rushing TDs (14) in the league (1st among QBs). He is the first NFL player to rush for 13+ TDs in three straight years since LaDainian Tomlinson (six, 2002-07).
