Jalen Hurts injured?

[jarntt]

Reading rumors and the line went from Dallas -1.5 to Dallas -2.5 to now Dallas -5.5. Something is up

Still doesn't make sense though, even if Hurts is injured it's probably a pick'em. Heck, Eagles probably still should be favored

The only thing I can think is that Dallas has more to play for. The Eagles have everything locked up unless they lose out and the Vikings win out.

Yep. Not much of a diagnosis available yet but he’s banged up. Rumor going around it’s a broken collarbone (can’t see that being the case; how does he even throw after that with a broken collar bone? You can’t even lift your arm let alone throw a ball) or a sprained AC joint. Either way, I’m glad that the Eagles don’t play a meaningful football game for the next 5 weeks.

Some of the stuff I’m hearing now says they don’t think it’s a long term thing and that if they needed him to play Saturday to get them into the playoffs that he would have played.

The only real “loss” here is for Hurts on a personal level. This probably seals the deal on Mahomes MVP.

This is a reporter with pretty solid access inside the Eagles organization.

I think it it was serious they'd already have said something. Even if he misses two games doesn't really matter

Yep. They can still win the Saints game at home with Minshew and then worst case scenario Hurts could play week 18 vs Giants.

Injuries suck.

Eagles i think need just one win to clinch the one seed and play New Orleans the next week. Seems logical to just let him rest

Looks like they got off pretty easy here. They’re just being precautious.

Began last year. He was pretty solid. Came out of it going to the Eagles staff and asking them to open up the QB competition. Siriani and staff said nah but love that the guy did it.

That's a good thing. Better this happen now instead of the last week of the regular season.

Worst part of the NFL. Only play 17 games and still guys can't get through the season. Just a different sport than others. Cowboys had like 6 starters on Offense and 5 starters on defense miss time and I can't even say they are one of the harder hit teams.

Was saying yesterday that they were running him too much.

Bears had a nice scheme. It was college in nature. Usually the QB reads the end on the line of scrimmage because they usually have QB responsibility in the defense. Bears were giving him a false keep read with the end crashing and the LB and safety replacing outside to account for QB. He got squared up pretty good on about 2-3 hits.

I disagree I bet his over rushing yards and some combo of rushing TD/first TD scorer/2 rushing TDs almost every week. I think he should run more

I'm a big football fan. But there's no need for a 17 game season other than greed.

All teams are dinged up after just the first couple of weeks.

I’m a “it depends on the kind of runs” guy. Middle of the field designed runs? I’m out on that shit until the games really count
