Will Jalen Hurts play on Sunday? Latest information on Eagles QB vs Packers

PHILADELPHIA – Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been cleared to play in the team’s Wild Card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, head coach Nick Sirianni announced Friday.

That means Hurts has been cleared by an independent neurologist, the last of five steps in the NFL’s concussion protocol for a player to play in a game.

“He followed the protocol,” Sirianni said, adding: “He had a good week of training. A really good week.”

But another of the Eagles’ top wide receivers is dealing with an injury, as DeVonta Smith had to miss practice on Friday due to back strain. On Thursday, AJ Brown was sidelined for what the team described as a “knee/rest break.”
