Jalen Hurts is a go for Eagles after coach contradicts injury report with comment on ankle
Jalen Hurts is clear on the injury report to play for Philadelphia at the Dallas Cowboys after coach Nick Sirianni revealed his quarterback is dealing with an ankle issue
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts is clear on the injury report to play for Philadelphia at the Dallas Cowboys after coach Nick Sirianni revealed Friday his quarterback is dealing with an ankle issue.
Hurts was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday with the non-injury designation of rest. Hurts' participation was listed as full Thursday and Friday. There is no playing status for Hurts on the injury report, which means he is set to play Sunday.
Asked why Hurts was listed for rest when the 26-year-old hadn't been previously, Sirianni said, “Yeah, he was dealing with — it was on the injury report. Dealing with the ankle. And, you know, making sure we're cautious with everything.”
Told the ankle wasn't listed as the reason on the injury report, and as another reporter asked if Hurts had an ankle injury, Sirianni responded with, “What's that?”
