J. Hurts Status
Jalen Hurts injury update
On Monday, head coach Nick Sirianni announced during media availability that Hurts remains in concussion protocol.
The quarterback has not been seen at practice since suffering the concussion in Week 16.
The Eagles rested their starters and played third-string quarterback Tanner McKee in Week 18 after clinching the No. 2 seed the previous week. They defeated the New York Giants 20-13 as they managed to win with most of their backups.
NFL concussion protocol rules
The NFL's concussion protocol is a five-step process that each player diagnosed with a concussion must clear before he can return to action.
Here are the five steps, per the NFL:
Symptom limited activity
Aerobic exercise
Football specific exercise
Club-based non-contact training drills
Full football activity/clearance
Philadelphia has not stated where Hurts is in the protocol. Although it is unclear what stage Hurts is in, Wednesday will be important regarding his availability this weekend. If he can’t get a limited practice by Thursday it won't be easy to clear the protocol in time for Sunday's game.

I have to admit, choosing between watching the pukers go one-and-done with all the chirping their fans do online...it'd be sweet. On the other hand, being able to get a hat trick of wins on those clowns has a distinct charm....
I'm all for all three road teams winning this week, then us (at home) beating Washington, and the Packers beating the Lions next week, then facing and beating the Packers at home to go to the Superbowl.
I think we have to be rooting for the Skins tonight. I'd prefer having to go into Philly next round than going to Detroit.
