Jalen Hurts is back at practice for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hurts returned to practice on Thursday in a limited fashion for the first time since he injured his throwing shoulder against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 18. He didn’t participate in everything, but the progress was a good sign for the Eagles with the playoffs just weeks away.
It’s still unclear if Hurts will play on Sunday when the Eagles host the New Orleans Saints. A win for Philadelphia would clinch the NFC East and the No. 1 seed in the conference, which comes with a first round bye in the playoffs. "We'll continue to see how he progresses throughout the week," head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday of Hurts,."Does he have a chance? Of course he does because his body just knows how to heal. He's a freak. We'll see what happens as the week progresses."
Hurts is believed to have injured his shoulder in the third quarter of their win against the Bears in Week 15 after Chicago defensive end Trevis Gipson tackled him right into his throwing shoulder.It is not expected to be a long-term injury, per league source.
