'Eagles Prevent Jalen Hurts Injury Nightmare'

Philly Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts avoided a serious knee injury and is expected to play in the next game.

The Philadelphia Eagles can breathe a sigh of relief as their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, managed to avoid a potentially devastating injury. During their recent win against the Miami Dolphins, Hurts appeared to be injured and played the second half with a brace on his left leg. However, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the knee issue is not severe and should not hinder Hurts from playing. In fact, there is a good chance that it won't even keep him out of practice.

After the game, Hurts assured reporters that he was "fine" and did not anticipate any issues preparing for their upcoming Week 8 game against the Washington Commanders. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni also confirmed that Hurts had been in good spirits. While they will monitor his condition throughout the week, Sirianni praised Hurts for his toughness and determination to help the team win.

Despite taking some hard hits in the first half, Hurts played the entire game on Sunday night. He completed 23 of 31 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, he contributed 11 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. The fact that backup quarterback Marcus Mariota warmed up in the third quarter but never took the field is a testament to Hurts' resilience and ability to play through discomfort.

Overall, the Eagles can be relieved that Hurts' injury is not serious and that he will likely be available for practice and their upcoming game. Hurts' tenacity and performance in the face of adversity demonstrate his commitment to the team's success.
