It’s Conference Championship weekend in the NFL. In the NFC, the Commanders battle the Eagles, while the Bills take on the Chiefs in the AFC. Philadelphia received some good news as Jalen Hurts is not on the injury report.
Jalen Hurts Is Still Dealing With A Knee Injury

Hurts, who suffered a knee injury in last week’s win over the Rams, was a full participant at Friday’s practice and will not carry an injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Commanders.
“Just really trying to embrace the opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity,” Hurts said on Friday via Eagles.com. “Everybody’s worked really hard this week and worked really hard all year to be where we are, so we just want to take advantage of it.”
It’s unclear how effective Hurts will be when the game starts. The fifth-year pro said he expects to wear a knee brace on his left knee.
After Hurts injured his knee in the third quarter, his mobility was severely hampered. Hurts ran for -1 yard and only threw for 18 after the injury.
When the Eagles played the Commanders in Week 16, Hurts suffered a concussion in the first quarter and exited the game. The Commanders won 36-33.
Philadelphia is attempting to make the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons.
I’m told by Eagles teammates that Jalen Hurts has looked “very mobile” these last two practices and he threw the ball at yesterday‘s practice better than he has in weeks. The Eagles should be able to run their offense and Jalen has looked good at practice pic.twitter.com/hEeJWLb4Vm
