The Eagles’ quarterback in PhiladelphiaIt should come as no surprise that Jalen Hurts will play in their NFC wild-card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, as he has been practicing for the past two days. DeVonta Smith, a wide receiver, is anticipated to play against the Packers despite missing practice on Friday due to back pain. Additionally, wide receiver A.J. Brown made a comeback to practice after missing Thursday’s due to a knee injury.
Eagles coach Nick Siriannis stated on Friday that Hurts had a successful practice week and had passed the concussion protocol. Hurts sustained a concussion during the first quarter of the Eagles’ Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders, which has kept him out of the team’s last two games.

Tanner McKee and Kenny Pickett, the Eagles’ backup quarterbacks, helped the team defeat the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.
Hurts might be rusty and commit a couple errors against Green Bay’s defense, according to some. Hurts must also refrain from taking heavy hits in his first game following his injury.
Sirianni stated on Friday that we are always cautious around him. We always want to exercise caution with him because he is our quarterback. I believe I’ve been asking myself that question since 2021. We therefore constantly prioritize his health because you never want him to miss a game. Jalen Hurts should constantly be on the field. Jalen Hurts’ presence on the field always makes you feel better.
Hurts completed 20 of his 34 throws for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ Week 1 victory over the Packers in S.O. Paulo, but he also threw two interceptions.
