Jalen Hurt, the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, had an X-ray done on his fractured right middle finger, but the results did not affect his availability for the team’s next Wild Card round matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Hurts was among a number of important Eagles who suffered alarming injuries in their defeat in Week 18.
According to GH files, Sunday night, Hurts stated he wasn’t sure when he would be able to return to the Eagles’ lineup. Hurts visited the medical tent to have his middle finger that “popped out” examined after playing through a few series. He was benched later in the game because he was too inefficient to help the Eagles overcome the unimpressive Giants, trailing 24-0 at the half.
The Philadelphia Eagles receive the results of Hurts’ X-ray.
Hurts did, however, state that he will be “day-to-day” with the injury after the game. Hurts’ X-ray results, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, did not reveal a middle finger fracture.
Hurts’ absence from a fractured finger is encouraging for the Eagles, but it’s still unknown if he’ll be able to play against the Buccaneers on Monday night. This week, Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith of the Browns offense will be dealing with injuries.
Can Brown and Smith play even if they are injured? Will the Eagles have Marcus Mariota, their backup quarterback, to throw the ball to them?
