Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has cleared the concussion protocol and will play against the Green Bay Packers for their Wild Card game slated for Sunday, head coach Nick Sirianni said on Friday.
According to ESPN, Sirianni said that Hurts, who sustained a concussion in the first quarter against the Washington Commanders back on December 22nd, was out of the protocol and “ready to roll” as Philly prepares to take on Green Bay.
“We’re always careful with him,” Sirianni said. “He’s our quarterback, so we always want to be careful with him. We always think about his health first and foremost because you never want him not to be on the field. You always want Jalen Hurts on the field. You always feel better when Jalen Hurts is on the field. It’s always part of our process and our plan to make sure that when he does carry the football on planned runs that we try to protect him.”
Hurts threw for 2,903 yards with 18 touchdowns for the Eagles this season.
