As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for a crucial NFC Championship clash against the Washington Commanders, they’re doing so with a few battle scars. Injuries have popped up on both sides of their lineup, and the Eagles’ faithful are watching the situation closely.
Among those who appear on Philly’s initial injury report is quarterback Jalen Hurts, a pivotal piece of their offensive machinery. He’s not flying solo in the questionable camp, though. Wide receivers A.J. Brown and Britain Covey, offensive lineman Lane Johnson, rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, and pass rusher Josh Sweat are all listed as uncertain for the upcoming gridiron showdown.
Hurts found himself on the injury radar after tweaking a knee in the Eagles’ Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. So, seeing him taking it easy in practice isn’t exactly a guarded secret. The expectation is that, given the stakes of Sunday’s matchup, Hurts won’t let a nagging injury sideline him completely. But it’s clear he’s not operating at full throttle.
Come Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern Time, fans will be tuning in on FOX to witness what could be a nail-biting spectacle between these two teams. As the Eagles and Commanders prep for battle, the tension and anticipation mount, setting the stage for a thrilling playoff contest with everything on the line.
