So, some scary news out of Philadelphia: Jalen Hurts went down with an injury in Sunday’s game against the Commanders. He took a nasty hit to the head during a scramble and had to leave the game in the first quarter.
The Eagles are saying he’s being evaluated for a concussion, which is never a good sign. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious, but you never want to see a player take a shot like that.
Kenny Pickett came in to replace Hurts, and he actually led the Eagles to a touchdown on his first drive. But let’s be real, the Eagles need Hurts if they want to make a deep playoff run. He’s been playing at an MVP level this season, and losing him would be a huge blow.
Now, while we’re waiting for updates on Hurts’ condition, let’s talk about some of the other headlines surrounding the Eagles quarterback. Remember when he got fined for wearing mismatched cleats? Yeah, the NFL can be pretty strict about their uniform rules. But Hurts’ shoe sponsor, Jordan Brand, actually offered to pay the fine! That’s some serious dedication.
And speaking of Jordan Brand, Hurts has become a marketing superstar. He’s got endorsements with some of the biggest companies out there, like Pepsi, Gillette, and even Hulu. The guy is a walking billboard, and it’s no surprise considering his talent and charisma.
Oh, and for those who are curious about his personal life, Hurts is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Bryonna Burrows. They’ve been together since their college days at Alabama, and it sounds like they’ve got a pretty awesome relationship.
But for now, all eyes are on Hurts’ health. Let’s hope he gets cleared to play soon and can continue his incredible season. The Eagles need him, and the NFL is a lot more exciting with him on the field.
