How long is Eagles Jalen Hurts out for? Sprained Shoulder Recovery time explored

Per the MRIs performed after the game, Jalen Hurts sprained his throwing right shoulder in Chicago during a clash in the third quarter.

Jalen Hurts reportedly suffered an injury in his most recent game, a victory over the Chicago Bears, as per numerous stories that appeared on Monday afternoon. His head coach has stated that he will not play in Week 16's divisional matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

According to early reports, Hurts may miss 1-2 weeks' worth of games. Since the MVP front-runner for the Philadelphia Eagles has failed to work out this week, Gardner Minshew is expected to start in Dallas.

Gardner Minshew returned to practice the day after delivering a tribute for Mike Leach, his former boss at Washington State.

According to Eagles coach Nick Sirianni's statement on Thursday, Jalen Hurts won't see any action this week. He will be replaced by Gardner Minshew, who might get the starting role in the final three games before the playoffs.

Gardner will be prepared, said Nick Sirianni.

"Gardner will represent us. To be prepared for this opportunity against a talented football squad, he worked his butt off. He had a great practice on Wednesday, and I'm sure you guys have all heard how it was full of energy. He's all set to go."

Sirianni referred to Hurts as the "toughest player I've ever been around" and claimed that Hurts "tried everything he possibly could to get his body ready to go."

What are Jalen Hurts and Gardner Minshew's stats?

The Eagles will have the opportunity to capture the NFC East championship and the top seed in the postseason with a first-round bye with a victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles will still be the favorites to win the division with a win or a Cowboys defeat in the final two games, even if they lose to the Cowboys this week.

Jalen Hurts has run for 747 yards and 13 scores while passing for 3,472 yards and 22 scores. His 35 total scores this campaign equaled Randall Cunningham's team record, which he set in 1990.

He could lose the MVP title if he missed any games. However, that would be a minor sacrifice for him to return totally healthy for the playoffs.

Last season, Minshew was the team's starting QB in two games. In the defeat of the New York Jets, when Hurts was out due to an ankle problem, he completed 20 of his 25 passes for 242 yards and two TDs. Gardner also started in the regular season's last game against the Cowboys, going 19 for 33 for 186 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.
