Earlier this week, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was hesitant to rule out Jalen Hurts, but on Thursday he said a shoulder injury will force the MVP candidate to miss Saturday's game.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and leading MVP candidateFourth-year quarterback Gardner Minshew will get the nod for Philly Saturday against the NFC East rivalA win over Dallas would clinch the NFC East and the No. 1 seed in the conference. Only the top seed in each conference gets a bye in the playoffs.
"Jalen did everything he possibly could to get his body ready to go," head coach Nick Sirianni said Thursday."And, at the end of the day, he's not going to be able to do it. He tried like crazy. And I know he still wants to go. Jalen Hurts is the toughest player I've ever been around.
Clinching the No. 1 seed means the Eagles would get a bye during the first week of the postseason. It would also give the coaching staff some flexibility when it comes to potentially playing Hurts in the last two games of the regular season.Hurts' injury is not expected to linger or require surgery, meaning the quarterback will likely be available for the playoffs.
