Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and will start the team’s Wild Card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon.
Hurts’ clean bill of health was revealed by Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni on Friday, with him out of action since Philadelphia’s December 22 loss to the Washington Commanders.
During the first quarter of that bitter NFC East showdown, Hurts took a hard hit to the turf and had not appeared in a game since.
Kenny Pickett has been starting in Hurts’ place, with the Eagles not losing a game where the former Pittsburgh quarterback played all four quarters.
The team no doubt gets a boost with Hurts back in the fold with his dual-threat ability.
