Jalen Hurts Injury Update: Will the Eagles QB play this week against the Giants?

Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles signal-caller, was fully active in training on Tuesday in preparation for this weekend's playoff game after being restricted in the days before the regular-season finale versus the New York Giants.

Hurts could not suit up for two games deep into the season, each of which Philadelphia lost. In contests where Hurts was the starting QB this campaign, he has led his team to a 14-1 record. In their regular-season finale versus the same Giants team, he made a comeback and helped the Eagles secure a 23-16 win, securing the top seed in the NFC.

Hurts was a featured player in the Philadelphia Eagles' walkthrough on Tuesday during training. He wasn't listed on the injury report for the first time in a few weeks, and he now seems fully fit and prepared for Saturday's game.

Before the game, Jalen Hurts assured the media that his damaged shoulder was "feeling well." Hurts may still be experiencing pain, but there is no room for doubt that he will start, barring a setback during practice for the rest of the week.

What should we expect from Jalen Hurts against the Giants?

Jalen Hurts injured his right shoulder when his team faced off against the Chicago Bears in Week 15. He subsequently missed a couple of games to give the shoulder time to heal. In Philadelphia's last regular-season game, he returned to action against the New York Giants.

When asked how he would manage the situation, Jalen Hurts assured reporters that he was not concerned about the New York Giants exploiting his damaged shoulder in this weekend's playoff game.

"It's football. Every week when I step onto the field, I have a bounty on my head," Hurts said. "I'll thus go play my game there and let whatever happens to happen."

Hurts concluded the regular season with a victory over the Giants with 229 yards and an INT on 20 of 35 passes. Despite typically being a spectacular runner, Hurts only rushed on nine occasions for 13 yards after being constrained in what he could normally accomplish.

Hurts is even more hazardous, from the opposition's point of view, when he poses threats as a runner. This season, he has averaged 50.7 yards on 11 carries, earning him his first Pro Bowl selection. Along with a career-high 22 touchdown passes and six INTs, he also added 13 running TDs on the ground.

The Eagles should have no trouble eliminating their rival if Hurts performs at that level when he suits up in the postseason game on Saturday.
