In 1991, after recovering from a knee ailment that prevented him from playing in all but the Eagles’ opening-day game, Philips All Cunningham once said, “I’m back scrambling.”
It wasn’t quite as dramatic when Jalen Hurts returned to the Eagles’ practice field.

Actually, it wasn’t even revealed by the Eagles’ current QB.
Before the Eagles’ practice at Lincoln Financial Field on Wednesday, coach Nick Siriannis stated, “He’ll be out there today.”
When Cunningham was the Eagles’ best chance to win a Super Bowl, that piece of news was just as fantastic now as it was then. As the Eagles start what they believe will be a lengthy playoff run on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, Hurts means the same thing to them.
Hurts will be playing for the first time since sustaining a concussion on December 22 during the team’s Week 16 loss to Washington. He hasn’t played or practiced for 11 quarters and six practices since leaving early in the first quarter. Sirianni would not specify whether his starting quarterback would be subject to any limitations.
The coach said, “After practice, we’ll give you the injury report.” Let’s see how it turns out.
Even though the Eagles are a strong team, Hurt’s extended absence should raise some red flags. Against the Packers, Sirianni stated he is not concerned about his quarterback getting rusty.
According to Sirianni, this is the reason you practice. This is the reason you practice and do everything you do in practice in order to arrive on the same page and complete everything there. We believe that we practice at a very high level of intensity.
Hurts is still in concussion protocol, at least for the time being, and won’t be released until he has been evaluated by a different physician after returning to practice. This implies that the quarterback, who usually addresses the media during the regular season, is not expected to do so on Wednesday.
The Eagles are practicing in pads on Wednesday, according to Siriainni.
The squad looks to be healthy going into the playoffs, but the complete injury report will be made public in the late afternoon after practice.
