Jalen Hurts says his mangled middle finger 'popped out' in latest Eagles' loss
Jalen Hurts says the right middle finger on his throwing hand popped out during a loss to the New York Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jalen Hurts says the right middle finger on his throwing hand simply “popped out.”
The gruesome injury to the Eagles quarterback was bad enough. Another loss that sent the Eagles to a 1-5 finish in the regular season was just as nasty in Philadelphia — and Hurts says he's taking the injury “day by day” ahead of next week's NFC wild-card playoff game against Tampa Bay.
Hurts didn't wear a wrap or any kind of protective device on his finger after the Eagles lost 27-10 to the New York Giants on Sunday night. Wide receiver A.J. Brown wasn't using crutches and didn't appear to be in a brace after he left the game with an injured right knee, perhaps a positive sign the 1,000-yard receiver will be good to go against the Buccaneers.
Hurts and Brown joined a growing list of injury concerns that plague the Eagles ahead of the postseason.
