Jalen Hurts has targeted receivers between the numbers on just 46.8% of his pass attempts, the lowest rate in the NFL.

After executing just 11 designed runs for 43 yards prior to the Eagles' bye week, Jalen Hurts has rushed by design at least 3 times in each of the Eagles' last three games, picking up 76 yards and his first touchdown in that span.

Solid second half in loss

Hurts completed 19 of 34 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 31 yards but also lost a fumble.

Analysis: Hurts failed to move the Eagles offense in the first half, as he was regularly off target and totaled only 57 passing yards on 10 attempts. He was more effective in the second half, connecting with A.J. Brown on several key completions -- including 33 and four-yard touchdown strikes. Even Hurts' effort in the final two quarters was hampered by two turnovers, however, including a fumble on a Tush Push deep in Bears territory. While he has been inconsistent leading the Philadelphia offense, Hurts…read more

Three scores in loss

Hurts completed 27 of 39 passes for 289 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys. He added seven rushes for 33 yards and two additional scores.

Analysis: Hurts appeared to be in for a huge fantasy performance, as all three of his touchdowns came in the first 19 minutes of game time. While the offense stalled from there, Hurts logged both his most pass attempts and completions of the season to post his second-highest yardage total of the campaign. That led to an excellent fantasy performance, though it masked his ongoing inconsistency as a passer, as he had topped out at 183 passing yards over his previous three contests. Hurts also continues to…read more

Scores team's only TD in SNF win

Hurts completed 14 of 28 pass attempts for 135 yards while taking 10 carries for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-9 win over Detroit.

Analysis: Hurts turned in a stat line similar to what he was producing out of the gates this season: low-volume passing totals with almost all of his value coming from his legs. Fantasy mangers would prefer if the 26-year-old could utilize both of his elite skills on a weekly basis, but at least his sporadic rushing scores have helped limit the signal-caller from truly having a bad game through 10 starts. Adding it all up, Hurts is completing 69 percent of his passes while accounting for 22 total…read more

Throws team's only TD on MNF

Hurts completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 183 yards and a touchdown while taking five carries for 27 yards and a lost fumble in Monday's 10-7 win over Green Bay.

Analysis: Hurts fell victim to a frigid defensive battle at Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football. He coughed up his second fumble of the season at the end of a lengthy opening drive and followed that up with three punts and a turnover on downs in a scoreless first half. The 26-year-old came alive in the fourth quarter when he fired a 36-yard rainbow to DeVonta Smith for Philadelphia's only touchdown and game-winning score. Hurts may be asked to shoulder more of a load on offense Week 11 against a Lions…read more

Fires four TDs in Week 8 win

Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 179 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants. He added 22 rushing yards on four carries.

Analysis: The Eagles QB didn't need to air it out much, as both Saquon Barkley (groin) and Tank Bigsby topped 100 rushing yards on the afternoon, but Hurts was surgical when he did throw it, hitting Dallas Goedert for a pair of TDs and sending one each to Barkley and Jahan Dotson. The four scores tied Hurts' career high, a mark he reached in both 2022 and 2023, and he's thrown multiple touchdowns in five of the last six contests, amassing a 15:1 TD:INT over that stretch. Hurts will get a well-earned rest…read more

Another high-volume passing day

Hurts completed 19 of 23 passes for 326 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four carries for minus-10 yards in the Eagles' 28-22 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Analysis: Hurts took three sacks, but otherwise he had a near-flawless day that allowed him to finish with a perfect 158.3 passer rating. The reigning Super Bowl MVP had to get aggressive through the air for the third straight game, ultimately setting a new season high in passing yardage yet again after also doing so in Weeks 5 and 6. Hurts was clicking with both of his top receivers, as DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown accounted for 13 of his completions, 304 of his yards and all three of his touchdown…read more

Solid numbers in shocking loss

Hurts completed 24 of 33 passes for 283 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding seven rushes for 13 yards and another score in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.

Analysis: Hurts and the Eagles offense had a productive first quarter when they netted 10 points as a unit, and the reigning Super Bowl MVP connected with Dallas Goedert from three yards out late in the period for six of those. Hurts would add a one-yard touchdown run at just under the seven-minute mark of the second quarter, and that would surprisingly be the end of the scoring on the night for Philadelphia. Hurts exceeded 30 pass attempts for a second consecutive contest for the first time this season,…read more

Season-high passing yardage in loss

Hurts completed 23 of 38 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added two rushes for three yards in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Analysis: Despite the Broncos' standout secondary and the fact they held a lead for a significant portion of the game, the Eagles curiously took a pass-centric approach Sunday, affording Saquon Barkley a scant six carries. Hurts recorded season highs in completions, pass attempts and passing yards, while also recording multiple touchdown tosses for the third consecutive game by connecting with Dallas Goedert (two yards) and Barkley (47 yards) in the second and third quarters, respectively. However,…read more

Well-balanced line in win

Hurts completed 15 of 24 passes for 130 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding nine rushes for 62 yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Analysis: The Eagles' air attack was back to low-volume mode Sunday, despite the Buccaneers eventually making matters interesting in the second half. Hurts had his share of misfires against an aggressive Tampa Bay defense, but he connected on two nifty touchdown passes to Dallas Goedert at the shadow of the goal line and also mustered a team- and co-season-high rushing yardage total. After not throwing a touchdown pass in either of the first two games of the season, Hurts has bounced back to toss five in…read more

Leads comeback win

Hurts completed 21 of 32 passes for 226 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams. He added nine rushes for 40 yards and an additional score.

Analysis: Hurts hadn't produced much as a passer through two weeks of the season, but the Eagles fell behind by 19 points early in the third quarter. He went on to record passing touchdowns of 33, nine and four yards in an impressive comeback effort while also completing three additional passes of 20 yards. Contrary to his passing performances, Hurts has consistently made an impact as a rusher through three games this season, and that also continued in the win, highlighted by a tush-push touchdown…read more

Rushing score masks low production

Hurts completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 101 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while rushing nine times for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

Analysis: Hurts managed to outduel Patrick Mahomes for the second time this calendar year in a Week 2 rematch of Super Bowl LIX. The 26-year-old Hurts has yet to throw a touchdown pass (or interception) through two starts in 2025, but his team has come out victorious on both occasions. Fantasy managers who drafted the dual-threat QB for his legs have been forced to rely almost exclusively on that part of his game for production early in the schedule. Hurts' rushing totals through two games (23-77-3)…read more

Leads Eagles through difficult win

Hurts completed 19 of 23 passes for 152 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 14 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Analysis: As his final indicates, Hurts was near perfect through the air, but he averaged just 6.6 yards per attempt and saw top two wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith finish with a combined 4-24-0 line on four targets. However, Hurts was a force on the ground, logging the second-most carries for the Eagles behind Saquon Barkley and outpacing his fellow star by two yards for the team rushing lead while also scoring from four and eight yards out on the ground in the first half. Hurts also converted…read more

No preseason reps

Hurts didn't play in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.

Analysis: Hurts didn't play in the preseason as the Eagles used the exhibition slate to evaluate their backup quarterback options after trading away Kenny Pickett in the offseason. Hurts didn't need the reps after leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl title last season, but he'll be ready to go for the start of regular-season play against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. He's being drafted as a consensus top-five fantasy quarterback in most formats after averaging 20 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing TDs…read more

Not in line to play Saturday

Hurts is not expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts and backup quarterback Tanner McKee are both expected to rest Saturday, positioning Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Kyle McCord to split time under center versus Cleveland, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The reigning Super Bowl MVP's final opportunity to log preseason reps will come Friday versus the Jets, but it remains to be seen whether coach Nick Sirianni intends for the Eagles' key starters to handle any amount of exhibition action. As far as Hurts' fantasy…read more

Sharp on first day of camp

Hurts completed 14 of 15 passes Wednesday at the first practice of training camp, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: The Eagles have a new offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, who replaces Kellen Moore after spending the last four years as Nick Sirianni's passing-game coordinator. Continuity is the theme otherwise, with Philadelphia returning all but one of last year's starters on offense (G Mekhi Becton) after winning the Super Bowl. Two of the starting linemen are working back from offseason surgeries, but it seems all the key skill-position players are healthy for the start of training camp, including…read more

Stellar in Super Bowl victory

Hurts completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and added 11 rushes for 72 yards and another score during the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.

Analysis: Hurts put together an MVP-caliber performance on the season's biggest stage, authoring a near-perfect performance that was only marred by an early second-quarter interception on a play where he was under significant pressure. Otherwise, the talented signal-caller was highly efficient when dropping back, hitting on both short passes and occasional downfield shots, such as a 22-yard, third-down strike to A.J. Brown early in the second quarter and his 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith with…read more

Four total TDs in NFCCG victory

Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown while rushing 10 times for 16 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 55-23 win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

Analysis: Hurts quickly answered any questions about the health of his knee by powering in a one-yard rushing touchdown on the brotherly shove in the second quarter to cap a drive he extended by converting on fourth-and-5 with a 31-yard pass to A.J. Brown. The dual-threat quarterback then had a 17-yard touchdown run taken off the board by a holding penalty but threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Brown five plays later to help the Eagles take a 27-15 lead into the locker room. Hurts added a nine-yard…read more

Likely to wear knee brace Sunday

Hurts doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders, but he expects to wear a brace on the left knee that he injured during the Eagles' divisional-round win versus the Rams, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hurts opened the week with a limited walkthrough Wednesday, but he followed it up with back-to-back uncapped sessions, thereby clearing him for Sunday's contest. The aforementioned health concern appeared to hinder him down the stretch this past Sunday, but he mentioned Friday that his left knee has "been progressing." As a result, the potential exists for Hurts' notable mobility to be scaled back somewhat, which could result in an even more run-focused game plan featuring standout running back…read more

Logs full practice Thursday

Hurts (knee) practiced fully Thursday.

Analysis: Hurts hurt his left knee during this past Sunday's divisional-round win versus the Rams. He operated with a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walkthrough, after which he said, "I'm progressing, taking it a day at a time," per Eric Edholm of NFL.com. Hurts proceeded to handle a full workload Thursday, clearing him up ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. In his one full game versus Washington this season back in Week 11, he completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards, no…read more

Limited in practice to begin week

Hurts was listed as limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a knee injury.

Analysis: According to Zach Berman of The Athletic, Hurts said Wednesday that he's feeling better after he appeared to hurt his knee in this past Sunday's 28-22 win over the Rams in the divisional round. If Hurts is able to upgrade to full participation in practice by Friday, he should head into Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders without an injury designation.

Does damage on ground against Rams

Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding 70 rushing yards and a TD on seven carries in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.

Analysis: For the second straight postseason game, Hurts threw for under 150 yards, but this time he bolstered his production with a 44-yard dash to the end zone early in the first quarter -- the longest touchdown run of his career. The QB did get checked out in the medical tent in the third quarter for a potential leg injury after taking a sack, but he didn't end up missing a snap. Hurts will try to lead the Eagles into the Super Bowl next weekend in the NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.

Tosses two TDs in wild-card win

Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers. He added 36 rushing yards on six carries.

Analysis: The Philly offense didn't need to do too much on a day when an injury-ravaged Green Bay passing game had trouble making anything happen, but Hurts picked his spots. The QB hit Jahan Dotson for an 11-yard score on the Eagles' first possession, then connected with Dallas Goedert for a 24-yard TD late in the second quarter. Hurts has an 8:0 TD:INT over his last five full games, not counting the Week 16 contest from which he exited early, and he appears fully recovered from his concussion heading…read more

Clears concussion protocol

Hurts cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday's game against the Packers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: This was the expected outcome once Hurts progressed from a limited practice Wednesday to full participation Thursday. He'll return for the wild-card round after missing the final two games of the regular season.

Full practice, but awaiting clearance

Hurts (concussion/left finger) practiced in full Thursday.

Analysis: Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal notes that Hurts led quarterback drills for a second practice in a row Thursday, upgrading from limited to all activity in the process. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Hurts still awaits clearance from an independent neurologist from the concussion that he suffered in the first quarter of a Week 16 loss at Washington, but he has two days left to do so ahead of Sunday's wild-card contest against the Packers.

Limited in return to practice

Hurts (concussion/left finger) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

Analysis: Despite not practicing prior to absences Weeks 17 and 18 due to a concussion suffered Week 16, Hurts reportedly was making progress through the five-step protocol, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. During the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Hurts was seen warming up, throwing passes and taking part in agility drills, and Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer also noted that Hurts also was the first quarterback in positional drills ahead of Kenny Pickett (ribs) and…read more

Expected to practice Wednesday

Hurts (concussion/finger) is slated to participate in Wednesday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts is working his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in an effort to gain full clearance in time for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Packers. Returning to practice Wednesday as even a limited participant would represent a significant step in the right direction. In addition to gaining clearance for full contact, Hurts will also need to receive the green light to play from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol.

Remains in concussion protocol

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that he has "no new information" on Hurts, who remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts sat out Philadelphia's final two regular-season games while progressing through the concussion protocol, with his target return date seemingly being Sunday's wild-card round matchup against Green Bay. The Packers, meanwhile, removed Jordan Love (hand) in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Bears, a contest that also saw Christian Watson (knee) sustain a season-ending ACL tear. Until Hurts is cleared to retake the practice field, top backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) will be in a position…read more

Progressing, eyeing playoff return

Hurts has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, but he's "progressing" through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and appears on track to practice during the upcoming week and potentially start in the Eagles' wild-card playoff game, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The Eagles' official injury report also lists Hurts with a left finger injury, but it's the concussion he sustained in the 36-33 loss to the Commanders on Dec. 22 that will keep him out for a second straight game to close out the regular season. With top backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) also not expected to play Week 18, third-stringer Tanner McKee is poised to start the regular-season finale, which carries no playoff implications for a Philadelphia squad that's already locked in as the NFC's No. 2…read more

Won't play in Week 18

Hurts (concussion/left finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Giants.

Analysis: Hurts hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion while taking a big hit in the first quarter of a Week 16 loss at Washington. He thus will miss a second game in a row to end the regular season, and his backup Kenny Pickett (ribs), who also didn't practice this week, is listed as questionable for Week 18. Even if Pickett is active for Sunday's 1 p.m. ET matchup, he may be no more than the No. 2 quarterback to Tanner McKee, who told Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia on…read more

Not practicing yet

Hurts (concussion/left finger) officially didn't practice Thursday.

Analysis: This comes as no surprise after Hurts wasn't with his teammates during the portion of Thursday's session open to the media. No. 2 QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) also hasn't taken part in drills this week, leaving Tanner McKee and Ian Book to handle QB reps. With Hurts expected to be among a number of starters to not play Sunday against the Giants, McKee would get the nod under center in that contest if Pickett isn't cleared to suit up.

Not seen at practice

Hurts (concussion) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The same can be said for the Eagles' No. 2 QB Kenny Pickett (ribs), giving the pair just one more chance to mix into drills this week. For Hurts, getting back on the field would mean a notable first step in his recovery from the concussion that he sustained Week 16 at Washington, as he's expected to be held out of Sunday's game against the Giants along with a number of other starters. Meanwhile, Pickett likely will need to practice in some capacity Friday to put his hat in the ring along with…read more

Sits out practice Wednesday

Hurts (concussion/left finger) was a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Analysis: Both Hurts and his primary backup, Kenny Pickett (ribs), didn't take reps to begin Week 18 prep, leaving Tanner McKee as the next man up at quarterback for the Eagles. Head coach Nick Sirianni told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that Hurts and multiple other starters won't play Sunday against the Giants, but Sirianni didn't rule Pickett out from playing, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. As a result, Pickett and McKee both look to be possibilities to start…read more

On track to sit Week 18

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that Hurts (concussion) isn't likely to play Sunday against the Giants, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Sirianni relayed that the Eagles intend to rest a number of starters in the regular-season finale, a list that includes Hurts, who remains in the concussion protocol. It's unclear if Hurts has made any progress in his recovery from the concussion, but the Eagles are still deciding on who will be under center Week 18 after Kenny Pickett started in place of Hurts in last Sunday's win over the Cowboys but was forced out with a rib injury. Tanner McKee finished out that contest and would be next in…read more

Ruled out for Week 17, as expected

Hurts (concussion/left finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Hurts hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion early on this past Sunday at Washington. Speaking of his quarterback earlier Friday, coach Nick Siranni told Tim McManus of ESPN.com that it's "going to be tough for him to make it this week" because Hurts still is in the protocol for head injuries. With his lack of availability now confirmed for Week 17, Hurts will hand off QB duties to backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) on Sunday. Stepping in for Hurts in Week 16, Pickett completed 14 of 24 passes…read more

Iffy for Sunday

Head coach Nick Sirianni noted Friday that Hurts remains in concussion protocol and acknowledged "it's going to be tough for (the QB) to make it this week," Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts, who is also dealing with a left finger injury, was listed as a non-participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, and at this stage he's trending toward not being available Sunday against the Cowboys. If that ends up being the case, Kenny Pickett (ribs) -- who practiced fully Thursday -- would be in line to start at QB for the Eagles in place of Hurts.

Remains sidelined from practice

Hurts (concussion/left finger) officially didn't practice Thursday.

Analysis: Hurts has yet to mix into drills since suffering a concussion this past Sunday at Washington. Meanwhile, Kenny Pickett, who emerged from that game with a rib injury, practiced in full Thursday and even told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer that he'll be ready to go if Hurts isn't available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The Eagles may clarify the status of Hurts for Week 17 on Friday's injury report, which would set the stage for Pickett's first start with the team.

Not seen at practice

Hurts (concussion) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia report.

Analysis: After leaving early in Philadelphia's Week 16 loss at Washington with a concussion, Hurts was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate. On Thursday, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that the quarterback remained in the concussion protocol, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. While Hurts looks set to be listed as a non-participant for the second straight day, fellow quarterback Kenny Pickett mixed into drills Thursday, albeit with some extra padding…read more

Listed as non-participant Wednesday

Hurts (concussion/left finger) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Analysis: Hurts was forced out of this past Sunday's loss at Washington in the first quarter after he was sandwiched between two Commanders defenders. He seemed to be a bit woozy and eventually was ruled out due to a concussion, and he's still managing a broken finger on his left hand, after he had been listed with the issue on injury reports for Week 15 and 16. Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) was listed as limited Wednesday, so Tanner McKee currently is the healthiest signal-caller on the active…read more

In concussion protocol

In addition to Hurts being in the NFL's concussion protocol, backup Kenny Pickett is dealing with a rib injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hurts sustained his concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, and with Pickett banged-up as well, the status of both signal-callers is worth monitoring closely ahead of this weekend's game against the Cowboys. For now, the Eagles' healthiest option at the QB position is Tanner McKee.

Won't return Sunday

Hurts (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Analysis: Prior to being forced out of the contest, Hurts completed one of four pass attempts for 11 yards and ran three times for 41 yards. In his absence, Kenny Pickett has taken over at quarterback for the Eagles.

Getting concussion check

Hurts is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game at Washington.

Analysis: At the end of a 13-yard run in the first quarter, Hurts was sandwiched by a pair of Commanders defenders and seemed to be a bit dazed when he got to his feet. He was removed from the game, visited the sideline tent and appeared poised to return to the field before going to the locker room. If Hurts is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll yield QB duties to Kenny Pickett for the rest of Week 16.

Picks apart Steelers

Hurts completed 25 of 32 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. He added 15 rushes for 45 yards and an additional score.

Analysis: The effectiveness of the Eagles' passing attack was in question throughout the week, as Hurts had failed to top 200 passing yards in three straight games. He silenced those questions in an excellent Week 15 showing by averaging 9.1 yards per attempt while completing six passes of at least 20 yards. Hurts also threw for multiple touchdowns for only the sixth time this season, while supplementing it with his 14th rushing score of the campaign. All of that production came despite playing through a…read more

Produces three TDs in win

Hurts completed 14 of 21 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns while adding 59 rushing yards and a TD on eight carries in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.

Analysis: For the third straight game and the sixth time this season, Hurts failed to throw for 200 yards, with Sunday's total being his lowest of the year. He made up for it by producing three TDs, including a four-yard strike to Grant Calcaterra early in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the winning score. Hurts has 13 rushing touchdowns on the season, leaving him two short of tying the NFL quarterback record of 15 he shares with Josh Allen, a mark they both reached in 2023. Hurts faces a stingy…read more

Posts passing and rushing TD in win

Hurts completed 11 of 19 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens. He added nine rushing attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Hurts threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert (knee) in the second quarter, then added a one-yard rushing touchdown later in the first half to put the Eagles up 14-9. The rushing score came on a tush push, as Hurts fumbled the snap but picked it up and lunged over the goal line for his 12th rushing touchdown in as many games. Hurts surprisingly didn't find much traction through the air against Baltimore's struggling secondary, but the Eagles rode running back Saquon Barkley and the…read more

Lets star RB handle Rams

Hurts (ankle) completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 179 yards and a touchdown while rushing 12 times for 39 additional yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Star tailback Saquon Barkley went off for over 300 total yards and two scores Sunday, leaving little work for the passing game in a lopsided victory. On a positive note, Hurts did not appear limited on his 12 rushing attempts after dealing with a minor ankle injury during the practice week. The dual-threat quarterback is completing a career-best 69 percent of his passes this season with 24 combined trips to the end zone over 11 contests. Hurts should continue being an elite QB in fantasy when…read more

Records full practice, as expected

Hurts (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Analysis: Hurts entered a maintenance program for an ankle injury that he suffered during last Thursday's win versus the Commanders., resulting in a limited session this Wednesday. As expected, though, he got back to all activity one day later and thus is set to continue to lead the Eagles offense Sunday night against the Rams. Since heading into a Week 5 bye with a 4:4 TD:INT and two rushing touchdowns in four contests, Hurts has been off and running, completing 92 of 131 passes (70.2 percent) for 1,267…read more

Tending to ankle issue

Hurts was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Analysis: Hurts told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that the Eagles have had him on a "mini-program" due to a lower-body issue he's been dealing with since last Thursday's win against the Commanders. There's an expectation that Hurts will follow up Wednesday's capped session with full participation Thursday and Friday, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com. The aforementioned regimen thus will allow Hurts to continue to lead Philadelphia's offense Sunday against the Rams.

Rushing TD in Week 11 win

Hurts completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

Analysis: Hurts often found the going tough against an improving Commanders defense, and he went without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 3. However, the star signal-caller was able to lean on Saquon Barkley and his defense as the second half unfolded while also contributing a go-ahead one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. All but two of Hurts' completions went to the familiar quartet of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Barkley and Dallas Goedert, and he steered clear of…read more

Scores four TDs in three quarters

Hurts completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 202 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing seven times for 56 yards and two scores in Sunday's 34-6 rout of the Cowboys.

Analysis: Hurts picked apart an outmatched Dallas defense from start to finish Sunday, resulting in his second game scoring four touchdowns this season. The 25-year-old is hitting his stride as teams approach the midpoint of the schedule, passing for 1,976 yards and 12 touchdowns on a career-best 70 percent completion rate. When factoring in the quarterback's 378 rushing yards and 10 trips to the end zone on the ground, the result is a resume for a potential MVP bid as the Eagles sit at 7-2 on the year.…read more

Scores thrice in win

Hurts completed 18 of 24 pass attempts for 230 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 13 times for 67 yards and another score in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Hurts stayed hot in Week 9 with his third consecutive three-touchdown game. The Eagles' offense has been performing better as a whole, and the team's star quarterback has played a large role in the recent string of success. Hurts has contributed 10 combined scores over the aforementioned three-week span. The dual-threat QB remains a strong fantasy play against a depleted Dallas defense next Sunday.

Four total TDs in win

Hurts completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added 10 carries for 37 yards and three more scores in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Analysis: For the second consecutive week, the Eagles continued to look like the team many expected them to be entering the season, and Hurts was at the center of the resurgence. The talented signal-caller was in vintage form on the ground, where he scored from one, seven and one yard out in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Hurts didn't have to do too much through the air, finishing with well under 30 pass attempts for the third consecutive game. Hurts also extended his streak with at…read more

Produces three TDs in big win

Hurts completed 10 of 14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown and added 22 yards and two TDs on seven carries in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.

Analysis: While he didn't need to air it out much after hitting A.J. Brown for a 41-yard score in the second quarter, Hurts got into the end zone himself on two second-half Brotherly Shoves to double his rushing TD total on the season. It's the third time in six games this year Hurts has failed to throw for at least 200 yards, but he's likely to need to rely on his arm a lot more Week 8 in a potential barn burner against Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Welcomes back wideouts in win

Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He added 33 rushing yards on 14 carries.

Analysis: While it wasn't the most efficient effort, Hurts clearly enjoyed having top wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith back in the lineup, as the former caught a 22-yard TD pass in the second quarter and the latter was on the end of a game-sealing 45-yard score in the fourth. It's only the second time in five games this season that Hurts has thrown multiple touchdowns, but it's also only the second time both Brown and Smith have been healthy. Hurts will try to keep his momentum going in Week 7…read more

Runs listless offense in loss

Hurts completed 18 of 30 passes for 158 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added 20 yards and another touchdown on eight carries in the Eagles' 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Analysis: Playing without top wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion), Hurts predictably struggled to run any type of cohesive attack and took six sacks. Additionally, the fact Tampa Bay was able to jump out to a 24-7 lead over the first two quarters certainly didn't help matters, as it made Philadelphia's plan of attack all the more predictable. Some chunk gains in the second half and Hurts' own one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter helped salvage his fantasy day, but…read more

Overcomes adversity in Week 3 win

Hurts completed 29 of 38 passes for 311 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added eight carries for 25 yards in the Eagles' 21-15 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Analysis: Hurts' final numbers are made all the more remarkable by the fact he was working with a skeleton crew at receiver by the fourth quarter of the close victory. He started the day without A.J. Brown (hamstring) and then lost DeVonta Smith to a head injury in the second half, but he still managed to lead a five-play, 69-yard game-winning march in which he recorded a 61-yard completion to Dallas Goedert that set up Saquon Barkley's go-ahead, four-yard touchdown run. Hurts' passing yardage total…read more

Accounts for two TDs in narrow loss

Hurts completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 85 rushing yards and another score off of 13 carries in Monday's 22-21 loss to Atlanta.

Analysis: Hurts turned in a fine fantasy performance despite taking his first loss of the season. The 25-year-old buoyed his numbers with a rushing performance that most fantasy managers would be content with from their starting running backs. The Eagles' offensive line continues to provide mixed results following the retirement of stalwart center Jason Kelce. Hurts' ability as a runner may show up more often this season if he has less time in the pocket. Philadelphia now will head to New Orleans for a…read more

Mixed results in Brazil

Hurts completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 13 times for 33 yards with a lost fumble in Friday's win over the Packers in Brazil.

Analysis: It was a sloppy start for Hurts on a slick playing field overseas after committing two of his three turnovers on Philadelphia's first two drives. The 25-year-old settled in following the pick and ensuing lost fumble, rattling off four straight scoring drives for the split crowd in Sau Paolo, Brazil. Hurts did not see any action this preseason, so a sloppy game in a foreign land can be looked past for one of the top QBs in fantasy, especially after willing his team to a narrow victory to start…read more

Not expected to face New England

Hurts isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.

Analysis: Reiss' pre-game report on ESPN aligns with that of Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, who noted that the Eagles aren't expected to play their starters on offense versus New England. In that scenario, Hurts' final opportunity to see exhibition action will occur Saturday, Aug. 24 against the Vikings.

Doesn't suit up Friday

Hurts didn't end up seeing any action in Friday's preseason win over the Ravens.

Analysis: Reporting earlier in the day suggested that the Eagles would give their offensive starters, including Hurts, one series in the team's preseason opener, but that proved not to be the case as Kenny Pickett got the start under center and played into the second half. Hurts' next opportunity to see exhibition action will come Thursday against the Patriots.

Scheduled to play a series Friday

Hurts and other starters are expected to play one drive in Friday's preseason game against Baltimore, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: McLane notes that Philadelphia's starters could end up playing a bit more, depending on how the first series goes. That probably means Hurts will get one drive if he's able to move the ball, or two drives if the opening series quickly stalls out. Either way, he's unlikely to play more than 10-15 snaps, if that.

Learning another new offense

Hurts said the offense he's learning under new coordinator Kellen Moore is "probably 95 percent" new, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hurts will work with his fifth playcaller in as many pro seasons, having gone from Doug Pederson to Nick Sirianni to Shane Steichen to Brian Johnson to Moore. It sounds like this will be the biggest change to the Eagles' offense since 2021, when Sirianni replaced Pederson as the head coach and the team drafted WR DeVonta Smith in the first round. The unit will have two new starters this season, with RB Saquon Barkley signed to replace D'Andre Swift (Bears) and the right guard job up for grabs…read more

Outdueled by Mayfield

Hurts completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 250 yards and a touchdown in the wild-card round of the playoffs, adding only one rush attempt for five yards in a 32-9 loss to Tampa Bay.

Analysis: Hurts' 2023 campaign comes to an abrupt halt after he and the Eagles mustered just one touchdown in a lopsided playoff defeat to the Bucs. The 2022 MVP runner-up turned in a pedestrian passing performance despite not carrying an injury designation from a dislocated right middle finger suffered against the Giants in Week 18. Hurts' one rushing attempt Monday checks in as his lowest total over 18 starts (including postseason) this year. From a fantasy perspective, the dual-threat superstar did…read more

Clear for Monday's game

Hurts (right finger) doesn't have a designation for Monday's wild-card game at Tampa Bay.

Analysis: Hurts departed the Eagles' regular-season finale at the Giants before halftime due to a dislocated right middle finger, but after opening the week of prep as limited Thursday, he capped it with back-to-back full sessions. On Friday, in particular, when he attempted his first passes since suffering the injury, he "was throwing deep balls, he was throwing lasers," as WR Britain Covey told Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia. While Hurts will continue to lead the offense, he'll be without A.J.…read more

Logs full practice Friday

Hurts (right finger) practiced fully Friday.

Analysis: Hurts was knocked out of this past Sunday's loss at the Giants before halftime due to a dislocated right middle finger, yielding quarterback duties to backup Marcus Mariota for the rest of the contest. Fortunately for Hurts, X-rays came back negative afterward, and he was considered day-to-day, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. On both Thursday and Friday, Hurts wore a glove on his right hand, and in the latter practice, he was seen attempting multiple passes, according to Brooks Kubena of The…read more

Officially limited Thursday

Hurts (right finger) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Analysis: Hurts' Week 18 was abbreviated due to a dislocated right middle finger that he attempted to play through before he was pulled for backup Marcus Mariota ahead of halftime. X-rays were returned negative after the Eagles' loss at the Giants, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, and Hurts spoke of the injury Thursday, telling EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer that it was "probably not, physically, the best idea" to return Sunday. Hurts also noted that "everything is progressing in the right way"…read more

Seen at practice Thursday

Hurts (finger) was present at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts missed a handful of plays in the second quarter of this past Sunday's loss at the Giants to have his dislocated right middle finger taped up, but he ultimately was pulled before halftime in an eventual 27-10 loss. On Monday, it was revealed by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network that X-rays were returned negative on the appendage in question. Prior to reconvening for practice Thursday, Hurts said that it was "probably not, physically, the best idea" to return to action Sunday, and he also had…read more

X-rays on finger come back clean

X-rays showed no fracture in Hurts' finger, and he's viewed as day-to-day, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hurts dislocated the middle finger on his right throwing hand in Sunday's loss to the Giants and was removed from the game just before halftime with the Eagles trailing 24-0. Marcus Mariota finished the game, going 13-for-20 passing for 148 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding six carries for 46 yards. The Eagles travel to Tampa Bay to face the Bucs in the first round of the playoffs next Monday night, and at this point Hurts doesn't seem to be in any danger of missing the…read more

Gets pulled in Week 18 loss

Hurts completed seven of 16 passes for 55 yards and an interception before being replaced by Marcus Mariota late in the second quarter of Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Giants.

Analysis: Hurts also added four rushing yards on two carries. The Eagles began the afternoon using their starters, as they still had a slim chance to win the NFC East, but they effectively no-showed the game. Hurts got checked out for a finger injury early in the second quarter, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, and while he didn't initially miss a snap, the QB got pulled for good after the Giants had grabbed a 24-0 lead just before halftime. Philly's late-season collapse has left the team with the No. 5…read more

Throws for three scores in loss

Hurts completed 18 of 23 pass attempts for 167 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 25 rushing yards on eight attempts in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Hurts didn't post gaudy yardage totals in Sunday's narrow defeat, but he helped fantasy squads by registering his third game with at least three passing touchdowns this season. The dual-threat quarterback couldn't supplement his passing efforts on the ground after finishing with less than 30 yards and no rushing scores for just the second time this year. Hurts may be without one of his top targets in Week 18 after DeVonta Smith (foot) was seen using crutches after suffering a foot injury late…read more

Claims record in Christmas win

Hurts completed 24 of 38 passes for 301 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants. He added 34 rushing yards and another TD on eight carries.

Analysis: On the Eagles' first possession of the game, Hurts rode a brotherly shove from the one-yard line to his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, breaking the previous NFL record of 14 for single-season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, set by Cam Newton in 2011. Hurts then got busy producing his first 300-yard passing game since Week 8 while hitting DeVonta Smith for a 36-yard score in the second quarter. However, Hurts hasn't thrown multiple TDs in four straight games, as Philadelphia's…read more

Forgettable passing numbers in loss

Hurts (illness) completed 17 of 31 passes for 143 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Eagles' 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Monday. He also rushed 13 times for 82 yards and two touchdowns.

Analysis: Hurts was a game-time decision due to an illness that worsened over the weekend and required the star signal-caller to travel to Seattle separately from the rest of the team. He looked his usual self as a runner, where he racked up a season-high rushing yardage tally and posted his third two-score effort on the ground in the last five games. However, Hurts' three- and one-yard touchdown runs couldn't quite make up for his poor passing effort, which included a season-low 54.9 completion…read more

Playing through illness Monday

Hurts (illness) is active for Monday's game at Seattle.

Analysis: Hurts joined the Eagles' Week 15 injury report Saturday as a non-participant due to an illness, but the team didn't give him a game designation at the time. As of Sunday morning, though, he was downgraded to questionable, and he even took the precaution of traveling to Seattle separately from his teammates in order to avoid getting anyone else sick. Hurts seemingly was subject to a pregame workout to determine if he can play with the ailment, and he's been deemed able to direct Philadelphia's…read more

On track to play Monday

Hurts (illness) is in line to play Monday night against the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

Analysis: Per the report, Hurts, who had been downgraded to questionable for the contest, is feeling well enough to give it a go versus Seattle. Official confirmation of the QB's Week 15 status thus is set to arrive once the Eagles' inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Officially questionable for Monday

The Eagles officially list Hurts (illness) as questionable for Monday's game against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Hurts wasn't able to practice Saturday after falling ill, but the Eagles declined to give him a designation upon the release of their final Week 15 injury report. However, with his illness worsening overnight, the Eagles have elected to downgrade his status as Monday's game approaches, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hurts traveled separately from the team to Seattle and is still hopeful to play against the Seahawks, but the Eagles may wait and see how the 25-year-old is feeling in pregame…read more

Listed questionable for Monday

The Eagles have downgraded Hurts to questionable for Monday's game in Seattle after the quarterback's recovery from an illness worsened overnight, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hurts, who initially didn't carry a designation for the contest, still hopes to play Monday and is traveling to Seattle separately from the team, according to Schefter. Either way, Hurts' status will need to be monitored closely ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Hurts is unavailable Monday, Marcus Mariota would be in line to start in his place.

Clear for Week 15 action

Hurts, who didn't practice Saturday due to an illness, doesn't have a designation for Monday's game at Seattle.

Analysis: Hurts didn't show up on the Eagles' Week 15 injury report until Saturday, but the ailment that kept him off the practice field won't impact his availability. He'll thus be free to take on the Seahawks' 25th-ranked pass defense (243.6 yards per game) Monday.

Sits out practice, expected to play

Hurts (illness) isn't practicing Saturday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hurts practiced fully Thursday and Friday, but an illness will keep him off the field Saturday. That said, the QB is expected to play Monday night against the Seahawks, though it's possible he'll approach the contest with a designation once the Eagles' final Week 15 injury report is posted.

Quiet night in lopsided loss

Hurts completed 18 of 27 passes for 197 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night. He also rushed five times for 30 yards and lost a fumble.

Analysis: The Eagles were seemingly behind the eight-ball right out of the gate Sunday night, with the Cowboys jumping out to a 10-0 lead through one quarter and adding another pair of touchdowns in the second quarter. That made Philadelphia's game plan increasingly predictable and allowed Dallas to make Hurts and the Eagles offense work for every yard. Hurts was sacked just once on the night, but he short-circuited an early drive at the Cowboys' 20-yard line with a fumble at the conclusion of an 11-yard…read more

Solid results in losing effort

Hurts completed 26 of 45 pass attempts for 298 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 20 yards and another score in Sunday's 42-19 loss to San Francisco.

Analysis: Hurts briefly exited Sunday's contest to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit in the second half. The 25-year-old missed only a handful of snaps before receiving clearance to return. Hurts showed no ill effects from the hit upon returning, and he went on to throw essentially a garbage-time touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Philadelphia was punched in the gut by a conference contender Sunday, but Hurts produced solid fantasy results for managers despite taking the loss. He will…read more

Returns to Sunday's contest

Hurts (head) returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hurts paid a visit to the sideline medical tent in the second half and then went to the locker room to get a concussion check. While Marcus Mariota proceeded to log a handful of snaps in Hurts' stead, the latter got back on the field in the middle of the fourth quarter with the Eagles down 35-13.

Being evaluated for concussion

Hurts is being evaluated for a concussion after going to the locker room with a concussion spotter in the second half of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Marcus Mariota replaced Hurts under center. Hurts went to the blue medical tent after taking a big hit, then made his way to the locker room shortly afterward. Prior to his exit, Hurts completed 17 of 29 passes for 196 yards while rushing six times for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Outduels Josh Allen in OT win

Hurts completed 18 of 31 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns with one interception and added 65 rushing yards and two TDs on 14 carries in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills.

Analysis: Josh Allen posted better yardage totals and produced four touchdowns of his own, but Hurts had the last laugh as he dashed for a game-winning 12-yard TD with under three minutes remaining in OT. The two dual-threat QBs combined for four rushing scores on the day, an impressive feat considering that neither the Buffalo nor Philadelphia defenses had allowed a rushing TD by a quarterback all season prior to Sunday. Hurts is now the first QB in NFL history to record three straight seasons with 10…read more

Two rushing TDs in statement win

Hurts completed 14 of 22 passes for 150 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 21-17 win over Kansas City. He added 29 yards and two touchdowns on 12 rushing attempts.

Analysis: Hurts had just 69 passing yards and an interception through three quarters, but he got his team back into the game with a 10-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, cutting Kansas City's lead to 17-14. His arm finally heated up in the fourth, as Hurts connected with DeVonta Smith for a 41-yard gain down to the 1-yard line to set up a quarterback sneak for the go-ahead touchdown on the next play. Neither team scored in the final 6:20, allowing the Eagles to avenge their Super Bowl LVII loss…read more

Sidesteps injury report

Hurts (knee) wasn't listed on the Eagles' first Week 11 injury report Thursday.

Analysis: In the three games prior to the team's Week 10 bye, Hurts tended to a left knee injury that forced him to wear a brace for the final two outings. Hurts told EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday that he used the midseason respite to rest and receive treatment on the knee and that he also didn't wear the brace at Philadelphia's initial session of Week 11 prep. Hurts thus appears set for Monday's rematch of Super Bowl LVII against a Chiefs defense that ranks fifth in the NFL against…read more

Plays through knee injury Sunday

Hurts played all 62 of the Eagles' snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys, but he appeared to be playing in pain for most of the second half of the contest after taking a direct hit to his left knee late in the second quarter, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts had already been dealing with pain in the same knee for multiple weeks leading up to the contest and wore a brace on the leg for the third game in a row Sunday. Though he's played 100 percent of the snaps on offense in each of the Eagles' first nine games, Hurts did need to leave the sideline early in the waning seconds of the first half to get extra treatment in the locker room. He was back on the field to begin the second half and turned in another productive outing for fantasy…read more

Produces three TDs against Dallas

Hurts completed 17 of 23 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 36 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: While he didn't deliver a lot of yardage, Hurts came up big when it counted, tossing a 29-yard TD to DeVonta Smith and a four-yard score to A.J. Brown in the third quarter as the Eagles erased a 17-14 halftime deficit. The QB had earlier gotten into the end zone on a Brotherly Shove from the one-yard line in the second quarter. Hurts has produced at least three touchdowns in three straight games, posting an 8:1 TD:INT over that stretch while adding two rushing TDs, and he'll be able to rest…read more

Four-touchdown breakout in win

Hurts completed 29 of 38 passes for 319 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 38-31 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also rushed four times for six yards and lost a fumble.

Analysis: The Eagles got off to yet another sluggish start, but Hurts was key in bringing Philadelphia back to notch what turned out to be a furious comeback that included 21 fourth-quarter points. The star signal-caller connected with favorite target A.J. Brown for touchdown passes of 16 and 25 yards before adding scoring tosses of 38 and eight yards to DeVonta Smith and Julio Jones, respectively, in the fourth quarter. Hurts also narrowly missed out on yet another rushing touchdown via the infamous…read more

Sidesteps injury report

Hurts (knee) wasn't listed on the Eagles' first Week 8 injury report Wednesday.

Analysis: Hurts played through a left knee injury this past Sunday against the Dolphins, completing 23 of 31 passes for 279 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, rushing 11 times for 21 yards and one more score and losing his only fumble. While he hasn't missed an offensive snap through seven games, he's already committed more turnovers (10) than he did all of last season (eight). With his health intact ahead of Sunday's contest, Hurts now will set his sights on a Commanders defense that allowed…read more

Should be fine for Sunday

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that Hurts (knee) should be fine to play without restrictions this Sunday against the Commanders, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: Hurts played through the injury in Sunday's 31-17 win over Miami, albeit while sporting a brace on his left knee in the second half. While Hurts isn't expected to miss any games, it's possible that his rushing production suffers a bit in the short term.

Expected to be fine for Week 8

Hurts (knee) is not expected to miss any game action, and there's a good chance he doesn't even miss practice this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hurts was sporting a brace on his left knee after hurting it during Sunday night's 31-17 win over the Dolphins but was adamant after the game that he is "fine." This seems to confirm that. Hurts' eight interceptions are already two more than he threw all of last season, and his touchdown rate has dropped in 2023. Hurts gets a juicy Week 8 date with the flailing Commanders. He tossed two touchdowns and threw for a season-high 319 yards versus Washington back in Week 4.

Not worried about knee injury

Hurts is believed to have sustained a knee injury during Sunday night's 31-17 win over Miami but said, "I'll be fine," after the contest, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hurts also responded, "I hope not," when asked whether his knee will bother him going forward. Though the quarterback had to play the second half of Sunday's win over the Dolphins with a brace on his left knee, three of his 11 carries came after halftime, and he still displayed his usual elite mobility in the pocket. It doesn't appear that Hurts is in serious danger of missing time heading into Week 8's road matchup against the Commanders. Backup QB Marcus Mariota warmed up on the sidelines to…read more

Back on track with three TDs in win

Hurts completed 23 of 31 pass attempts for 279 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while adding 21 rushing yards and another touchdown on 11 attempts in Sunday's 31-17 win over Miami.

Analysis: Hurts recovered from the three interceptions he threw in last week's upset loss to the Jets by leading his team to victory over a cross-conference contender. The star quarterback did throw another interception (his seventh of 2023) while also coughing up the ball on one of his three sacks taken Sunday. The increase in turnovers likely has less to do with a regression in play and more to do with opponents shifting their defensive focus to slow down the 2022 breakout star. Hurts still generates…read more

Turnovers lead to first loss

Hurts completed 28 of 45 pass attempts for 280 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions while rushing eight times for 47 yards and a score in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.

Analysis: Hurts' three interceptions matched his previous career-worst mark, resulting in Philadelphia's first loss of the season. The 25-year-old nearly threw a fourth pick on the Eagles' final comeback attempt, but the ball was simply dropped by the defender and resulted in a turnover on downs instead. Despite the turnovers, the athletic QB still helped fantasy managers by combining for over 300 yards from scrimmage while recording his fourth game with a passing and rushing touchdown this year. Hurts…read more

Strong dual-threat performance

Hurts completed 25 of 38 pass attempts for 303 yards, a touchdown and an interception while adding 72 yards and another score on 15 rushing attempts in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Hurts turned in his second straight 300-yard passing game en route to another win for the 5-0 Eagles. The dual-threat quarterback produced a 15-72-1 rushing line in addition to his success through the air, effectively giving fantasy managers strong QB and RB production from one position slot. Hurts now has 10 combined touchdowns through five games while increasing his volume as a passer each week. Last season's MVP runner-up will shift his focus to a Week 6 matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Big day through air in OT win

Hurts completed 25 of 37 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Commanders. He added 34 rushing yards on nine carries.

Analysis: Both scores went to A.J. Brown, a 59-yard bomb in the third quarter and a 28-yard strike in the fourth, as Hurts topped 300 passing yards and threw multiple touchdowns for the first time this season. The fourth-year quarterback now has five TDs through the air and three more on the ground through four games, and he's likely to pose a problem in Week 5 for a Rams defense that just allowed Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson to produce three scores of his own (two passing, one rushing).

Throws TD, runs in another

Hurts completed 23 of 37 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Monday's 25-11 win over the Buccaneers. He added 10 rushing attempts for 28 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Analysis: Hurts got almost half of his yardage throwing to A.J. Brown (nine catches for 131 yards), but he also made two key throws to Olamide Zaccheaus on Philadelphia's first touchdown drive, as they connected for a 24-yard gain followed by a 34-yard touchdown three plays later to take a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. After being stuffed on a third-down quarterback sneak from the one-yard line in the third quarter, Hurts tried again on fourth down to produce his third rushing touchdown through three…read more

Three total TDs in win

Hurts completed 18 of 23 passes for 193 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Eagles' 34-28 win over the Vikings on Thursday night. He also rushed 12 times for 35 yards and two more scores.

Analysis: Hurts' yardage numbers certainly won't set fantasy managers' pulses racing, but the All-Pro quarterback's three touchdowns went a long way to making up for it. Hurts' one score through the air was a beauty of a 63-yard pass to DeVonta Smith early in the third quarter to help extend to the Eagles' lead to 20-7 at the time. Hurts also crossed the goal line on one-yard runs in the second and third quarter, his first two rushing touchdowns of the campaign. The fourth-year pro has curiously fallen…read more

Manages Philly to win

Hurts completed 22 of 33 passes for 170 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Patriots. He added nine rushes for 37 yards while losing a fumble.

Analysis: Hurts and the Eagles played through a steady rain in New England, leaving them limited in the passing attack. As a result, he mostly distributed the ball quickly and in the short areas of the field to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, allowing his talented pass catchers to gain yards after the catch. That's reflected in his stat line, as he averaged only 5.2 yards per attempt. Hurts should be in a better position to air the ball out in a Week 2 matchup against the Vikings.

Unlikely to play Thursday

Hurts is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason game against Indianapolis, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: It sounds like the Eagles will focus on competitions for back-end roster spots, with even No. 2 QB Marcus Mariota expected to play just one series. Hurts can soon turn his focus to the regular season, opening with a trip to New England on Sept. 10 and then a home game against the Vikings four days later (Sept. 14). His toughest matchups are mostly bunched together in early November through early December during a five-game stretch in which the Eagles face Dallas (twice), Kansas City, Buffalo,…read more

Not suited up Thursday

Hurts isn't in uniform ahead of Thursday's preseason game against the Browns, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: If the expected outcome occurs and Hurts sits out a second consecutive exhibition, he'll have just one more chance to suit up (next Thursday, Aug. 24 versus the Colts) ahead the season opener. In Hurts' stead, Marcus Mariota likely will get the first chance to lead the Eagles offense, with Ian Book and rookie sixth-round pick Tanner McKee mixing in behind him.

Not expected to play Saturday

Hurts isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game at Baltimore, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: While Hurts was suited up for pregame warmups, he and the rest of the Eagles starters won't be available for the team's exhibition opener. With Hurts sidelined, Marcus Mariota, Ian Book and Tanner McKee are the options to man quarterback for Philadelphia. Hurts' next chance for game action will arrive this coming Thursday against the Browns.

Improving connection with Brown

Hurts has looked impressive in training camp practices, most notably connecting on numerous standout throws to A.J. Brown, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts and Brown have been close friends since they were teenagers, so they naturally found chemistry quickly when Brown was traded to Philadelphia prior to last season. Now tasked with shaking off the disappointment of the 38-35 Super Bowl loss to Kansas City, Hurts is determined to lead the Eagles to even greater heights in 2023 while throwing to a talented group of pass catchers led by Brown, DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert.

Had minor ankle procedure

Hurts underwent offseason surgery to remove "hardware" from a previous high-ankle sprain, ESPN's Tim McManus reports.

Analysis: Hurts originally had the hardware inserted back in 2018 when he was still at Alabama. He underwent the most recent surgery back in February following the Eagles' Super Bowl loss to Kansas City, but Hurts has already returned to his offseason workout routine and appears to be ready to roll for OTAs as a full participant. The quarterback is fresh off inking a five-year, $255 million extension with Philadelphia on Monday and should be viewed as an elite fantasy option in 2023, in the same tier as…read more

Becomes highest-paid NFL player

The Eagles signed Hurts to a five-year contract extension Monday.

Analysis: Hurts' new contract is reportedly for $255 million and makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history in terms of annual average salary, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Additionally, the extension includes a no-trade clause and $179.3 million in guarantees. After leading Philadelphia to a narrow 38-35 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs in just his second season as the Eagles' starter, it's little surprise to see general manager Howie Roseman lock in the franchise quarterback with a long-term deal.…read more

Four total touchdowns in SB loss

Hurts completed 27 of 38 passes for 304 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 38-35 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs. He added 15 rushes for 70 yards and three touchdowns.

Analysis: As was the case for much of the season, Hurts was dynamic as both a rusher and passer. He made a mistake early in the game on a fumble that was returned for a touchdown but otherwise moved the Eagles offense all game. Hurts connected with A.J. Brown for a deep 45-yard pass early in the second quarter for his lone passing score of the game. He also punched in three rushing touchdowns from short range. Despite Philadelphia coming up just short of a Super Bowl victory, Hurts established himself as…read more

Quiet performance in big win

Hurts completed 15 of 25 passes for 121 yards and added 39 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries in Sunday's 31-7 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

Analysis: What seemed like it would be a fearsome battle turned into a rout after the Niners lost Brock Purdy to an elbow injury early in the game and were forced to turn to journeyman Josh Johnson (concussion) under center. As a result, the Eagles didn't really need to air it out at all, and all four of the team's TDs came on the ground. Hurts picked up one of them on a one-yard run late in the third quarter, but he otherwise didn't need to do too much. The low passing numbers could give rise to…read more

Three total TDs in playoff win

Hurts completed 16 of 24 passes for 154 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night. He also rushed nine times for 34 yards and another score and fumbled once but recovered.

Analysis: Hurts' final numbers weren't his most spectacular by any stretch, but the versatile signal-caller was certainly efficient while parlaying three of his 25 touches into scores. The third-year star's relatively modest numbers were a reflection of how especially effective the offense was in the first half, when Hurts connected with Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith for scoring tosses of 16 and nine yards, respectively. Hurts then added a five-yard touchdown run just before intermission to cap off a…read more

Set for divisional round

Hurts (shoulder) hasn't been listed on Eagles injury reports in advance of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Giants, Sage Hurley of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Hurts was sidelined Weeks 16 and 17 due to an SC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder, but he returned to action for the regular-season finale Jan. 8 versus the Giants. In the process of eking out a 22-16 victory, he completed 20 of 35 passes for 229 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while running nine times for 13 yards. With a first-round bye in his back pocket, Hurts has put the injury further in the rearview mirror and even noted Tuesday that he's "feeling good." While his…read more

Eased back into lineup

Hurts completed 20 of 35 passes for 229 yards and an interception and gained 13 rushing yards on nine carries in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Seeing his first action since Week 15 due to a shoulder injury, Hurts wasn't asked to do too much to help Philadelphia lock up the top seed in the NFC and a first-round bye. Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported after the game that Hurts' shoulder was still sore, so the extra week off will help the 24-year-old quarterback get closer to 100 percent healthy ahead of the divisional round.

Back in action in Week 18

Hurts (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus the Giants

Analysis: Making his first appearance since Week 15, Hurts will work through any lingering issues with his sprained right throwing shoulder as the Eagles seek the No. 1 seed in the NFC. During a Week 14 road win against the Giants, he completed 21 of 31 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing seven times for 77 yards and another score. Another productive outing for Hurts may be in store against a New York team that may not use many regulars due to being locked into the…read more

Expected to start

Hurts (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, is expected to start, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts' status won't be officially confirmed until the Eagles release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but all signs point to the quarterback putting an end to his two-game absence after he managed to practice in some capacity all week. The Eagles are guaranteed the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win over the Giants, who are already locked into the No. 6 seed and are expected to start third-stringer Davis Webb in place of Daniel Jones, according to…read more

Listed as questionable

Hurts (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Analysis: Hurts was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, though head coach Nick Sirianni noted after the final session of the week that the quarterback is "trending in the right direction" for Sunday, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. The Eagles may treat him as a game-day decision ahead of their 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, with Gardner Minshew ready for a third straight start if Hurts ultimately is declared inactive. A win Sunday would give the Eagles the No. 1 seed in the NFC, while a loss…read more

Trending toward playing Sunday

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that Hurts (shoulder) is "trending in the right direction" as this weekend's game against the Giants approaches, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hurts has opened Week 18 prep with two straight limited practice sessions, and unless he upgrades to full activity Friday, the quarterback could carry a questionable designation into the regular-season finale. Even in that scenario, Hurts would still appear to be on track for the start, given that he hasn't experienced any reported setbacks in his recovery from the right shoulder sprain that sidelined him for the past two games. The Eagles will secure the NFC's No. 1 overall seed with a win…read more

Stays limited Thursday

Hurts (right shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Analysis: During the media-access portion of Thursday's session, Hurts went through a ball-security drill that he was absent from a week ago, according to Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Hurts also made throws with good velocity across his body while running to his left and again was the first quarterback to work in individual drills, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com. Still, Hurts logged a second consecutive capped session to kick off Week 18 prep, leaving his status up in the air for Sunday's…read more

Officially limited Wednesday

Hurts (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Analysis: Per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Hurts worked with the first-team offense to kick off Week 18 prep, but his eventual workload wasn't enough for him to be considered a full participant. There's an expectation that Hurts will return from a two-game absence Sunday against the Giants, but he may need to log full activity in a practice to prove he's past his sprained right throwing shoulder.

Status being taken day-by-day

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that Hurts (shoulder) is still being evaluated day-by-day, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Since the Eagles are merely holding a walk-through session Wednesday to begin Week 18 prep, Sirianni said he doesn't expect to know more about where Hurts stands in his recovery from the SC joint sprain in his right shoulder until Thursday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that Hurts is expected to put an end to his two-game absence and play Sunday versus the Giants, but fantasy managers will want to monitor the situation until Sirianni officially makes a decision about the star…read more

Expected to play Week 18

Hurts (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Per Rapoport, Hurts would've played Week 17 if it had been a playoff game, but the Eagles opted to exercise the utmost caution to avoid a potential setback with the star quarterback's injured shoulder. Philadelphia has lost back-to-back games without Hurts and will look to get back on track against the Giants before postseason play begins. Despite Rapoport's encouraging update, fantasy managers still should monitor Hurts' participation at practice during Week 18 prep before locking him into…read more

Officially out Sunday

Hurts (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: Hurts provided a glimmer of hope when he returned to practice Thursday, but after putting together back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 17 prep, the Eagles listed him as doubtful to play Sunday due to the sprained right throwing shoulder that he suffered Week 15 in Chicago. He'll thus cede quarterback duties to Gardner Minshew on Sunday, while Hurts himself will attempt to put himself in position to return for a Week 18 matchup with the Giants.

Not expected to play Sunday

Hurts (right shoulder) is not in line to play Sunday against the Saints, but he is expected to be available for the Eagles' Week 18 contest against the Giants, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Analysis: Official confirmation of Hurts' Week 17 status will arrive when Philadelphia's inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, with the QB having been listed as doubtful by the team after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. Assuming Hurts isn't available versus New Orleans, Gardner Minshew will be slated to make his second straight start, while the Eagles' approach with regard to whether or how much to play Hurts next weekend will presumably hinge on if the team has clinched…read more

Doubtful for Week 17

Hurts (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: After sitting out Week 16 due to a sprained right throwing shoulder, Hurts returned to the practice field Thursday and maintained a limited listing into Friday's session. Despite showing signs of progress, though, he appears destined to be unavailable Sunday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Friday that Hurts did show significant strides this week, so even if he doesn't play Week 17, he may be an option to suit up Week 18 against the Giants, especially if the Eagles have yet to lock up the…read more

Limited at Thursday's practice

Hurts (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Analysis: Hurts was on the field for warmups and proceeded to get reps ahead of both Gardner Minshew and Ian Book, per Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer. It's the first sign that a return to action may be imminent for Hurts, who sat out a Week 16 loss at Dallas due to a sprained right throwing shoulder. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he'll avoid a designation heading into the weekend, but he more than likely will be listed as questionable if he has a chance to play Sunday…read more

Back at practice Thursday

Hurts (shoulder) took part in warmups ahead of Thursday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: This marks Hurts' first action since spraining his right throwing shoulder Dec. 18 in Chicago and his first practice since Dec. 16. According to Tolentino, Hurts actually worked ahead of fellow quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Ian Book, a fair sign that he's potentially putting himself in position to play Sunday against the Saints. Thursday's injury report will reveal how much activity Hurts was able to handle.

Sits out walk-through

Hurts (shoulder) was a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Even though the Eagles still have some work to do to lock down the NFC's No. 1 seed after this past Saturday's loss at Dallas, they may be without the services of Hurts for a second straight game, given that he has yet to log any practice reps due to the sprained right shoulder that he suffered Week 15 in Chicago. He still has a pair of sessions available to him this week to put himself in a position to play Sunday against the Saints, while Gardner Minshew is the next man up to direct…read more

Could push to play in Week 17

With the Eagles unable to clinch the NFC East and the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that Hurts (shoulder) could push to play in Week 17 against the Saints.

Analysis: Per Rapoport, Hurts is considered day-to-day due to the sprained right shoulder he sustained during Week 15 action, but with the Eagles still having something to play for at this stage, it's possible that their franchise QB could return to the field as soon as next weekend. Added context on that front should arrive in the coming days, but if Hurts isn't cleared to face New Orleans, Gardner Minshew would be in line for another start.

Uncertain for Week 17

Hurts (shoulder), who is out for Saturday's game against the Cowboys, is uncertain to play in the Eagles' Week 17 matchup with the Saints on Jan. 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Before determining Hurts' status for Week 17, the Eagles plan to wait and see how Week 16 action plays out with regard to the NFC playoff picture as well as how the quarterback's throwing shoulder responds to rest and treatment. The MVP candidate is recovering from an SC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Gardner Minshew is slated to start Saturday as well as any future games that Hurts might miss due to the injury.

Officially ruled out for Week 16

The Eagles list Hurts (shoulder) as out for Saturday's game in Dallas.

Analysis: Head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed earlier Thursday that Gardner Minshew will pick up his first start of the season in place of Hurts, who won't be made available as an emergency backup after failing to practice in any capacity this week while managing a right shoulder sprain. The Eagles haven't decided on Hurts' status beyond Saturday's contest, but it's possible that the 24-year-old ends up sitting out Week 17 against the Saints and/or Week 18 against the Giants with Philadelphia close to…read more

Set to miss Saturday's game

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Thursday that he doesn't expect Hurts (shoulder) to be available to play Saturday in Dallas, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. "It's looking like it's going to be Gardner [Minshew]," Sirianni said, when asked who would serve as the Eagles' starting quarterback in Week 16.

Analysis: According to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Sirianni praised Hurts' toughness and said that the signal-caller pushed to play this weekend, but after not practicing Tuesday and Wednesday, Hurts looks as though he'll miss his first game of the season. Expect the Eagles to formally rule Hurts out for the Week 16 contest following Thursday's practice, paving the way for Ian Book to dress as the backup behind Minshew. Hurts, who is recovering from a right shoulder sprain, will turn his…read more

Not at practice

Hurts (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: Gardner Minshew is taking first-team reps after missing Tuesday's session to tend to a personal matter. Hurts, meanwhile, is absent for a second straight day due to a shoulder sprain, with multiple reports suggesting Minshew is likely to start Saturday in Dallas. The Eagles haven't ruled Hurts out yet, and they might wait until the weekend -- or at least until the release of their final injury report Thursday -- to do so even if they've already made a decision internally.

DNP on practice estimate

Hurts (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

Analysis: The Eagles held a walkthrough to begin Week 16 prep, but Hurts wouldn't have practiced Tuesday if the team had held any sort of session as he tends to a sprained right shoulder that he sustained Sunday at Chicago. While playing through through the pain in the second half of the 25-20 win, he racked up 315 passing yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while running 17 times for 61 yards and three scores. Coach Nick Sirianni told Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports on Tuesday, "There's a chance he…read more

Status in limbo for Week 16

Coach Nick Sirianni said Tuesday that Hurts has been diagnosed with a right shoulder sprain, but he also didn't rule out the quarterback for Saturday's game at Dallas, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: During Sunday's 25-20 win at Chicago, Hurts picked up the injury late in the third quarter on a rush, but he ultimately played all 73 offensive snaps. Overall, he accounted for 315 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions on 22-for-37 passing in addition to 17 carries for 61 yards and three TDs. While there were initial concerns Hurts may need to miss multiple games, Sirianni dampened them during Tuesday's media availability, telling Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports, "There's a chance he could…read more

Diagnosed with shoulder sprain

Hurts suffered a sprained right shoulder during Sunday's win over the Bears, and the quarterback's status for the Eagles' Week 16 game in Dallas is uncertain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: According to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com, Hurts underwent X-rays after Sunday's contest that revealed the issue, and while multiple reports suggest the issue isn't a long-term one, the quarterback could be sidelined for one or two games, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The injury occurred late in the third quarter on a rushing attempt to the right side, but Hurts stayed in the game and proceeded to lead a scoring drive in the fourth quarter that he capped off with a one-yard…read more

Runs in three TDs in Week 15 win

Hurts completed 22 of 37 passes for 315 yards and two interceptions while rushing 17 times for 61 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 25-20 win over Chicago.

Analysis: Hurts came into this one with only three interceptions all season but tossed two in the first half as the Eagles fell behind 6-3 before Hurts orchestrated a nine-play, 91-yard touchdown drive to take a 10-6 lead into the locker room. He capped that drive with a 22-yard rushing touchdown, then scored from one yard out in the third and fourth quarters to raise his season rushing touchdown total to 13. If Hurts can lead the Eagles to a Week 16 win in Dallas on Saturday, Philadelphia would clinch…read more

Another stellar performance Sunday

Hurts completed 21 of 31 passes for 217 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 77 rushing yards and another score on seven attempts in the Eagles' 48-22 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: Hurts led the Eagles to touchdowns on their first three possessions, two of them consisting of double-digit plays. The star quarterback capped off the latter two drives with 41- and 33-yard touchdown passes to DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown, respectively, and he subsequently added a 10-yard touchdown run on a late third-quarter march. Hurts now has multiple scoring tosses in seven of the last eight games and rushing scores in four of the last five, affording him no shortage of momentum going into…read more

Four total touchdwowns

Hurts completed 29 of 39 passes for 380 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Titans. He added five rushes for 12 yards and an additional score.

Analysis: Hurts took to the air a season-high 39 times, which also led to his best marks in both completions and yards. His effort was highlighted by lengthy passing touchdowns of 40, 34 and 29 yards -- his third game with at least three passing scores on the season. Hurts also chipped in his ninth rushing score of the season on a two-yard carry just before halftime. Hurts now has multiple touchdowns in seven consecutive games.

Goes for 310 combined yards

Hurts completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 153 yards and two touchdowns and rushed 17 times for 157 yards in Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.

Analysis: Hurts ran wild against the Packers' four-man rush all game long, simply hitting the huge gaps the edge rushers routinely left open for big gains. The dual-threat quarterback spearheaded a Philly rushing attack that combined for a season-high 363 yards. Hurts' two touchdown throws put him at 17 on the year, already surpassing the 16 he threw over 15 games in 2021 with six fewer interceptions. The budding superstar will face a stiff test against the Titans' dominant defense Sunday, but Hurts has…read more

Solid game-winning performance

Hurts completed 18 of 25 passes for 190 yards and one touchdown while running for 86 yards and another score on 16 carries against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Analysis: The Colts successfully stymied the Eagles' big-play offense, hoping Hurts would make mistakes when denied the big play. It was a good game plan and well executed by the Colts, but Hurts never made the mistakes Indianapolis hoped for. In fact, the star quarterback put the Eagles offense on his back and stood tall against the Colts' inspired performance. Hurts and the Eagles' offense won't be denied big plays for long, and their Week 12 matchup against Green Bay could prove a viable setting for…read more

Undefeated season ends on MNF

Hurts completed 17 of 26 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders. He added 28 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts.

Analysis: Hurts was involved as a rusher early on, as Philadelphia's first offensive play was a designed quarterback run that went for 12 yards, and he capped the opening drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. His production on the ground tapered off after that though, and the dual-threat quarterback fell short of 30 rushing yards for a fourth consecutive game. Hurts threw a six-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert on Philadelphia's second possession to restore a seven-point lead before getting picked off…read more

Highly efficient despite pressure

Hurts completed 21 of 27 passes for 243 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed nine times for 23 yards in the Eagles' 29-17 win over the Texans on Thursday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing one, and recorded a two-point conversion run.

Analysis: Hurts was under duress frequently courtesy of a feisty Texans front, taking four sacks and losing the football on one occasion. Houston also did a good job containing Hurts whenever he took off with the ball, but the third-year quarterback ultimately did plenty of damage through the air, primarily in conjunction with Dallas Goedert and A.J. Brown. Hurts connected with the latter for a 17-yard score shortly before the halfway point of the third quarter to break a 14-14 tie, and he subsequently…read more

Four touchdowns in easy win

Hurts completed 19 of 28 passes for 285 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Steelers. He added two rushes for 10 yards.

Analysis: Hurts was exceptionally efficient and showed rapport with A.J. Brown, connecting with his star receiver for three touchdowns of 39, 27 and 29 yards. He capped off his big performance with a 34-yard score to Zach Pascal before being pulled early in the fourth quarter. Hurts tallied multiple passing scores for the third time this season -- he has multiple rushing touchdowns in an additional two matchups -- and continues to excel even with limited passing volume.

Stays perfect on SNF

Hurts completed 15 of 25 pass attempts for 155 yards and two touchdowns while adding 27 yards on nine carries in Sunday's 26-17 win over Dallas.

Analysis: Hurts was bottled up by an elite Dallas defense from a yardage standpoint, resulting in his first game with less than 200 combined passing and rushing yards this season. Even with the low volume, the early MVP frontrunner made plays at crucial points of drives and had his team up by three scores at halftime. Hurts continues to show improved decision-making prowess from the pocket (6:2 TD:INT on a 69 percent completion rate) while offering the ability to break away and turn into a power running…read more

Scores twice on ground

Hurts completed 27 of 36 passes for 239 yards against Arizona on Sunday while running for 61 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.

Analysis: Hurts was somewhat disappointing as a passer while the Eagles offense scored just 20 points, but Philadelphia emerged with the win and avoided the trap game to go 5-0 through five weeks. Hurts should do better as a passer most weeks so long as he has A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert to throw to, and, as this game emphasized, he often gets the most enviable cut of the Eagles ground game too. Hurts should continue to produce like a top fantasy quarterback, especially if he can get…read more

Saves poor passing game with TD

Hurts completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 204 yards and an interception, adding 38 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in Sunday's 29-21 win over Jacksonville.

Analysis: Hurts struggled from the pocket against the Jaguars' pass rush, resulting in his second game with zero passing touchdowns through four weeks. Luckily for his fantasy managers, the dual threat was able to offset a poor passing game with his fourth rushing touchdown. The 24-year-old's ability as a rusher has complemented his improved passing this season (67 completion percentage and 280.0 passing yards per game). Hurts will look to keep the Eagles undefeated in a matchup against the Cardinals --…read more

Another huge game

Hurts completed 22 of 35 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns against Washington on Sunday. He also rushed nine times for 20 yards.

Analysis: The Eagles offense is rolling right now and defenses haven't had an answer for Hurts in his first three games. The addition of A.J. Brown has taken the offense to a new level, and so far, no defense has been able to stop Hurts, Brown and DeVonta Smith at once. The combined threat of those three forces defenses to play spread out, and Hurts' Week 4 opponent (Jacksonville) struggled in Week 1 against Washington's spread-out game plan. There's no obvious scenario where Hurts slows down anytime…read more

Stellar in Week 2 victory

Hurts completed 26 of 31 passes for 333 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Eagles' 24-7 win over the Vikings on Monday night, adding 11 rushes for 57 yards and two additional scores. He also committed a fumble recovered by Philadelphia.

Analysis: Hurts turned in an even more impressive outing than he had during the Eagles' 38-point haul in Week 1 against the Lions, putting together a nearly perfect passing performance that saw him average a whopping 10.7 yards per attempt. The mobile signal-caller also used his legs with great effectiveness for the second time in as many games to open the season, scoring from three and 26 yards out. Hurts did a good job ensuring two important targets that had been left out of the Week 1 fun altogether…read more

Stars in wild Week 1 win

Hurts completed 18 of 32 passes for 243 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 17 times for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-35 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: While the Eagles' first possession ended on downs, Hurts came back to helm a 13-play, 82-yard march during which he completed four passes for 62 yards to new acquisition A.J. Brown and then capped it off with a one-yard touchdown run. Hurts would go on to do plenty of damage on the ground and turn in a solid effort through the air overall, even as DeVonta Smith was blanked on the stat sheet. Hurts heavily focused on Brown to the tune of 13 targets, but there's little doubt the likes of Smith,…read more

Not in line to play Saturday

Hurts is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Dolphins with coach Nick Sirianni expected to sit Eagles starters, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: The Eagles' dual threat QB thus is in line to see his next game action Week 1 against the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 11, at which point his top pass-catching options will be wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert.

Not expected to play Sunday

With the Eagles in line to rest key starters, Hurts isn't expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Browns, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: In that context, Gardner Minshew, Reid Sinnett and Carson Strong are the team's available QBs on Sunday, while Hurts' final opportunity to see preseason action arrives Saturday against the Dolphins.

Sharp to open preseason

Hurts completed all six of his passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-21 preseason loss to the Jets.

Analysis: Hurts played one offensive possession but showed accuracy to all areas of the field. He opened the performance with a 28-yard completion to Quez Watkins and moved the ball patiently down the field before capping the drive with a 22-yard touchdown toss to Dallas Goedert. Hurts is locked in as the Eagles' starting quarterback in 2022, and he'll look to build on his strong 2021 season, when he completed 61 percent of his passes and averaged 7.3 yards per attempt.

Will get snaps in preseason opener

Head coach Nick Sirianni said Hurts and the starting offense will handle one or two series during Friday's preseason opener against the Jets, Bo Wulf of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The quarterback may end up commanding an offense without the protection of two of his top linemen in Jordan Mailata (concussion) or Jason Kelce (elbow). Even if he's on the field for only a brief period of time, Hurt will be able to get in some meaningful game reps with new top wideout A.J. Brown, though DeVonta Smith (groin) could sit out as he continues to deal with a minor injury.

Healthy for OTAs

Hurts (ankle) said Wednesday that he's healthy following offseason surgery, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: As expected, Hurts is ready to go for the start of OTAs after electing to undergo surgery on the left ankle injury he battled late in the 2021 campaign. A healthy Hurts paired with newly acquired No. 1 wideout A.J. Brown should brighten the quarterback's fantasy prospects heading into 2022.

Gains new passing target

The Eagles bolstered the pass-catching corps that Hurts (ankle) will be working with this coming season by trading for wideout A.J. Brown, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The 6-foot-1, 226 pound Brown -- who subsequently agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract with the Eagles -- will provide the team with a talented and experienced wideout to pair with 6-foot, 170-pounder DeVonta Smith, who Philadelphia drafted 10th overall last year. Along with that improved 1-2 WR punch, Hurts also has a quality tight end to throw to in Dallas Goedert, with the likes of Quez Watkins, Zach Pascal and Jalen Reagor also in the mix for passing targets. Hurts, who is bouncing…read more

Undergoing ankle procedure

Hurts will undergo surgery on his left ankle Wednesday and is expected to fully recover in time for the start of OTAs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hurts played through the ankle injury down the stretch of the 2021 campaign, and he was spotted in a walking boot after the Eagles' wild-card round loss to the Buccaneers. Barring any setbacks in his recovery, Hurts' procedure doesn't look as though it'll have a notable affect on his preparation for the 2022 season during the spring and summer. General manager Howie Roseman previously said in mid-January that Hurts has performed well enough in his first full season as a starter to remain atop…read more

Gets vote of confidence from GM

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Wednesday that Hurts (ankle) showed enough to keep his job as the starting quarterback entering the 2022 season, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The Eagles have the requisite cap space and draft picks to pursue an upgrade, but Roseman said his plan for the offseason is to build around Hurts, who went 8-7-0 as a starter in 2021 and finished the regular season with 3,144 passing yards, 784 rushing yards, 26 total touchdowns and 11 turnovers. While he placed just 26th among 31 qualified passers in completion rate (61.3 percent), Hurts was above-average at avoiding sacks and turnovers, in addition to leading all signal-callers in rushing…read more

In walking boot after Sunday's loss

Following Sunday's playoff loss to the Buccaneers, Hurts sported a walking boot that he hinted was related to the ankle injury he sustained in Week 12, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Hurts also noted that he hopes he doesn't need surgery, but evidently that possibility could potentially be on the table as the Eagles head into their offseason. Either way, the 2020 second-rounder has plenty of time to heal up before Philadelphia re-takes the field. However it remains to be seen what, if any, QB competition is added in the coming months by the franchise, which holds three first-round draft choices in 2022.

Produces late

Hurts competed 23 of 43 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-15 wild-card round loss to Tampa Bay. He added eight rushes for 39 yards.

Analysis: Hurts and the entire Philadelphia offense struggled mightily for the majority of the game, as he picked up 107 passing yards and his lone touchdown in the final quarter that began with the team down 31-0. Otherwise, Hurts put together an uninspiring performance that was largely dominated by wayward and mistimed throws. He was even stymied on the ground and held below 40 rushing yards for the third time in his last four starts. Though Hurts managed to lead the Eagles into the postseason, his…read more

Another full practice Wednesday

Hurts (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Analysis: While it wasn't a traditional practice session, Hurts has still received the full participation label on two straight injury reports dating back to last week. The Eagles opted to keep the second-year pro on the sideline this past Saturday versus the Cowboys, allowing Gardner Minshew to make a spot start under center Week 18. With Hurts continuing to demonstrate improved health since first sustaining the ankle injury Week 12, he's slated to lead the offense again for Sunday's postseason opener…read more

Sitting out in Week 18

Hurts (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Saturday against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Hurts tended to a lingering ankle injury during Week 18 prep, but he managed a full practice Thursday and entered the weekend with no designation. Still, the Eagles are opting to give him a respite before the wild-card round of the playoffs. With Hurts in street clothes, Gardner Minshew will direct Philadelphia's offense in the regular-season finale.

Could yield snaps to Minshew

Though Hurts does not carry a Week 18 injury designation, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network expects backup QB Gardner Minshew to see an increased role Saturday night against the Cowboys.

Analysis: With multiple key players sidelined due to injury or their placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list and the Eagles not having a lot to gain in terms of playing seeding, Hurts is among the players the team could choose to rest or limit versus Dallas. With that in mind, Hurts is a risky fantasy lineup option Saturday, while Minshew seems likely to see added snaps in Philadelphia's regular-season finale.

Clear for Saturday's game

Hurts (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game versus the Cowboys.

Analysis: After opening Week 18 prep with back-to-back limited sessions, Hurts bumped up to all activity at Thursday's practice, setting the stage for him to be available this weekend. Coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged Thursday that Hurts still is dealing with the sprained ankle he picked up Week 12 at the Giants and forced him to sit out Week 13 at the Jets, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Since the Eagles' Week 14 bye, Hurts has suited up in three straight games, averaging 236 yards on…read more

Limited again Wednesday

Hurts (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Analysis: The Eagles continue to manage Hurts' practice reps due to the ankle sprain that sidelined him Week 13. He's played in the Eagles' three ensuing games, completing two-thirds of his passes for 709 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while taking 17 carries for 89 yards and two more scores. Hurts' status for Saturday's game against the Cowboys may receive some clarity upon the release of Thursday's injury report.

Limited in first Week 18 practice

Hurts (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Analysis: Hurts was sidelined for the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Jets with a sprained ankle, but he returned to the lineup following the team's Week 14 bye and has directed the offense to three straight victories. Though Hurts has dialed back his involvement on the ground to some degree over the past three weeks, the Eagles didn't provide any indication he aggravated the ankle injury coming out of Sunday's win over Washington. As such, Hurts is likely just getting some extra maintenance to begin the…read more

Can't find end zone

Hurts completed 17 of 26 pass attempts for 214 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington. He added seven rushes for 44 yards.

Analysis: Hurts moved Philadelphia's offense effectively as he averaged 8.2 yards per attempt and connected on deep passes to both DeVonta Smith and Greg Ward. However, his fantasy performance was less inspiring, as he ran for under 50 yards for the third consecutive game. He also couldn't find the end zone either through the air or on the ground with Boston Scott instead tallying two touchdowns. Hurts has showed improvement as a passer late in the season, though Philadelphia's emphasis on running the…read more

Good to go

Hurts (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.

Analysis: Hurts has scaled back his practice workload since returning from the ankle injury, but that hasn't stopped him from scoring five total touchdowns in two straight wins, including a 27-17 win over Washington in Week 15. He'll be on the road for a rematch two weeks later, with Philadelphia again having the advantage in terms of injury/COVID-19-related absences, though not quite to the same extent as last time.

Logs full practice Thursday

Hurts (ankle) is trending toward approaching Sunday's game against Washington minus a Week 17 injury designation after practicing fully Thursday.

Analysis: With the full session, Hurts is ahead of where he was last week when he logged a limited practice on Thursday. In the Eagles' Week 16 win over the Giants, Hurts rushed just twice for seven yards, but it's plausible that as he distances himself from the ankle sprain he suffered Week 12, the QB could log more attempts this weekend, with Philadelphia's top two backs Miles Sanders (hand, out) and Jordan Howard (stinger) both banged up.

Upgrades practice level

Hurts (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

Analysis: Hurts got in his first uncapped session one day earlier than he did last week, paving the way for him to be under center for the Eagles on Sunday at Washington. When he faced the Football Team two weeks ago, he completed 20 of 26 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning eight carries into 38 yards and two more scores in the team's 27-17 win.

Limited in practice

Hurts (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: The ankle injury Hurts suffered in late November continues to limit his participation in practice, even after he started and finished two straight games without incident. He's thrown for three touchdowns and has run for two more since returning form the injury, and he'll now face a Washington defense that's been beat up on for most of the season. Hurts himself just torched Washington for 337 total yards and three touchdowns Week 15 in the Eagles' 27-17 victory.

Pair of scoring tosses in win

Hurts completed 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 34-10 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards and committed a fumble recovered by the offense.

Analysis: Hurts' day -- and by extension, that of the entire Eagles offense -- began slowly in the first half before Philadelphia came alive on that side of the ball with some help from its defense over the final two quarters. Hurts did his part with a pair of scoring tosses to DeVonta Smith and offensive lineman Lane Johnson in the third and fourth quarter, respectively, his first multi-touchdown effort through the air since Week 10. Hurts also was very subdued on the ground while amassing his fewest…read more

Ready for Week 16

Hurts (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Analysis: After kicking off the week with back-to-back limited listings on Eagles injury reports, Hurts capped it with a full practice Friday, clearing him to play Sunday. He's coming off a three-touchdown effort that included 296 yards passing and 38 more yards on the ground Tuesday against Washington. Hurts will aim to do something similar against the Giants' 19th-ranked pass defense.

Limited at Thursday's walkthrough

Hurts (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.

Analysis: After the Eagles didn't hold a practice Wednesday, they returned to the field Thursday in a walkthrough setting. Hurts was 'limited' both days as he continues his recovery from a high left ankle sprain. He was able to gut it out and produce Tuesday versus Washington, completing 20 of 26 passes for 296 yards, running for 38 yards on eight carries and scoring three total TDs (one passing, two rushing). Friday's injury report will clarify whether Hurts enters the weekend with a game-day…read more

Limited on practice estimate

Hurts (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Analysis: After missing one game and benefiting from the Eagles' late bye, Hurts returned to action Tuesday against Washington and turned in one of his more productive performances of the season. He completed 20 of 26 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown and one interception and compiled eight carries for 38 yards and two more scores in the 27-17 victory. It's no surprise Hurts' practice reps are being managed this week less than a month removed from sustaining a left high-ankle sprain, and he'll have two…read more

Mostly good showing in win

Hurts completed 20 of 26 passes for 296 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Eagles' 27-17 win over Washington on Tuesday night. He also rushed eight times for 38 yards and two more scores while fumbling twice, losing one.

Analysis: The issues with ball security notwithstanding, Hurts turned in an strong all-around effort at a critical juncture in the fantasy calendar. The second-year signal-caller's first two scores came on one-yard sneaks in the second and third quarters, and he subsequently created some valuable breathing room with a 19-yard touchdown toss to Greg Ward in the fourth quarter. The passing yardage tally was Hurts' best since Week 4 against Kansas City, and the pair of rushing scores give him five over the…read more

Cleared for Week 15

Hurts (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Analysis: After he was listed as a full participant on practice reports issued Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Hurts seemingly has proven to the Philadelphia coaching and training staffs that his sprained left ankle no longer is a concern. Though he sat out the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Jets with the injury, Hurts received some added time to heal up thanks to a Week 14 bye along with the NFL's decision to push back the Week 15 matchup with the Football Team two days due to COVID-19 concerns…read more

Remains 'full' on injury report

Hurts (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Sunday's injury report.

Analysis: Hurts opened Week 15 prep with consecutive 'limited' listings before the Eagles bumped him up to full Friday and called him questionable for a Week 15 game against Washington. But that's before the NFL moved back the scheduled Sunday matchup to Tuesday due to a significant amount of Washington players residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With additional time to get his sprained left ankle healthier, Hurts has continued to log full practices and may head into Tuesday without a designation…read more

Eagles-Washington moved to Tuesday

Hurts (ankle) and the Eagles will no longer play Washington on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The delay should provide more healing time for Hurts, who sat out the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Jets with a left ankle sprain before Philadelphia went on bye Week 14. Hurts returned to practice this week and upgraded to full participation Friday…read more

Full practice, still questionable

Hurts (ankle) was a full practice participant Friday but will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Analysis: It sounds like the upgrade in practice participation won't necessarily equate to active status come Sunday, with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni essentially leaving it up in the air when he talked with the media Friday afternoon. Hurts has clearly made progress, but the team can afford to be cautious given that Gardner Minshew is one of the better backup QBs in the league and would be facing a thinned-out Washington team that's dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak.

Stays limited at practice

Hurts (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Analysis: Hurts similarly was listed on Wednesday's injury report, but on Thursday he was the first quarterback to log a handoff as he split first-team reps with backup Gardner Minshew. When the quarterbacks moved on to another drill, though, Hurts walked slowly while Minshew and Reid Sinnett jogged to the next destination, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Hurts missed the Eagles' last game prior to the team's Week 14 bye, and it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to play from the high…read more

Limited Wednesday

Hurts (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Analysis: Earlier Wednesday, head coach Nick Sirianni told Tim McManus of ESPN.com that Hurts was "trending upwards" as he recovers from a high left ankle sprain, which sidelined him in the Eagles' last game Week 13 against the Jets. Coming out of a Week 14 bye, Hurts is splitting first-team reps with Gardner Minshew, likely as a contingency in the event the former can't go this weekend. In the end, though, the Eagles have optimism Hurts will be able to return for Sunday's game against Washington.

Trending in right direction

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that Hurts (ankle) is "trending upwards" heading into the team's Week 15 game against Washington, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts and Gardner Minshew will split reps at Wednesday's practice, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, but the second-year signal-caller out of Oklahoma looks to be trending toward playing this weekend after having missed his first game of the season in the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Jets. Of course, the Eagles won't need to confirm Hurts' status until after he's been fully evaluated at practice over the next few days.

Should be ready for Week 15

Hurts (ankle) is expected to be fully healthy and available to start in the Eagles' next game Week 15 versus Washington, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hurts' sprained left ankle caused him to miss his first game of the season Week 13, clearing the way for Gardner Minshew to pick up a spot start. The third-year signal-caller was impressive in place of Hurts, completing 20 of 25 attempts for 242 yards and two touchdowns to guide the Eagles to a 33-18 win over the Jets. Despite Minshew's outstanding showing and Hurts' inconsistency as a passer through the team's first 12 games, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed after the win over the Jets that…read more

Will retain starting gig

Hurts (ankle) will be the team's starting quarterback if healthy following a Week 14 bye, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts was sidelined for the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Jets due to a left high-ankle sprain, which he sustained in Philadelphia's 13-7 loss to the Giants in Week 12. Though fill-in starter Gardner Minshew was highly efficient (20-for-25 for 242 yards and two touchdowns) in his stead, Hurts' overall body of work looks like it'll be enough for him to maintain the top spot on the depth chart if he's deemed ready to go for the Eagles' Week 15 game against Washington. While Minshew likely amounts…read more

Has high ankle sprain

Hurts, who is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, has a high ankle sprain but is only expected to miss one game, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Analysis: After spraining his ankle in Philadelphia's Week 12 loss to the Giants, Hurts practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday before being ruled out of Sunday's game. His participation in practice suggests this will be a short-term absence, but Glazer's report that the sprain is higher up the ankle adds more uncertainty to his Week 15 availability. However, Hurts will have time to recover with the Eagles on a bye next week. Gardner Minshew will start with Hurts out while Reid Sinnett…read more

Sidelined Week 13, as expected

Hurts (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Analysis: After spraining his ankle in Philadelphia's Week 12 loss to the Giants, Hurts practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, but reports leading up to Sunday suggested the Eagles would err on the side of caution and hold the second-year signal-caller out this weekend. Hurts' inclusion on the inactive list for the first time this season thus comes as no surprise, paving the way for Gardner Minshew to pick up a start while Reid Sinnett serves as his backup. Though the presence of…read more

Unlikely to play Sunday

Hurts (ankle) isn't expected to play in Sunday's road game against the Jets, NFL reporter Derrick Gunn reports.

Analysis: Hurts emerged from a Week 12 loss to the Giants with a sore left ankle, and both the quarterback and coach Nick Sirianni initially were confident he'd be able to gut it out and play this weekend. While he logged limited sessions Wednesday through Friday, Hurts split first-team reps with backup Gardner Minshew, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Ultimately, the Eagles appear poised to keep an eye toward the future and not risk a more significant injury with Hurts, allowing…read more

Questionable for Sunday

Head coach Nick Sirianni said Hurts (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, after splitting first-team practice reps evenly with Gardner Minshew this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Sirianni sounded more confident earlier in the week, while Hurts himself said Wednesday that he would be fine for Sunday's game. The 23-year-old quarterback now appears closer to truly questionable, though it's a situation where gamesmanship could be a factor, as the Eagles' running game in particular would look different with backup Gardner Minshew replacing Hurts, who enters Sunday ranked 10th in the league for rushing yards (695) and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns (eight). Whatever the…read more

Maintains limited practice activity

Hurts (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: After he was estimated as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through session, Hurts maintained the same level of activity while the Eagles held a more traditional practice session Thursday. While both Hurts himself as well as head coach Nick Sirianni have expressed varying degrees of optimism that the quarterback will be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Jets, what Hurts is able to do at Friday's practice will likely be the deciding factor in whether he carries an injury…read more

Listed as limited Wednesday

Hurts (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Analysis: Head coach Nick Sirianni noted Monday that Hurts is dealing with a left ankle sprain, but the injury didn't stop the quarterback from from taking part in practice Wednesday. Both Siranni (via Tim McManus of ESPN.com) and Hurts (via Zach Berman of The Athletic) said that the second-year signal-caller expects to play Sunday versus the Jets, and prior to Wednesday's session, Hurts didn't exhibit a limp, according to Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Despite the optimism and how healthy…read more

Says he'll play

Hurts (ankle) said Wednesday that he'll be ready to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: He appears to be more confident about his status than does head coach Nick Sirianni, who stopped short of promising Hurts would be available while admitting that he expected his starting quarterback to play. Of course, players often are too optimistic when it comes to injuries, but in this case, Hurts seems ready to back it up on the practice field, starting with his participation in Wednesday's walk-through session. Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer notes that Hurts didn't appear to…read more

Participating in walk-through

Hurts (ankle) will participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, with head coach Nick Sirianni noting that he expects the quarterback to play Sunday against the Jets, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts came out of last weekend's 13-7 loss to the Giants with an ankle injury, and while he seemingly expects to play through it, his participation in the walk-through session doesn't come with any guarantees. Continued practice participation Thursday would be a stronger sign in favor of Hurts suiting up, though Sirianni said he'll have contingency plans in case his starter can't play or has limited mobility, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Gardner Minshew is the Eagles' lone…read more

Managing left ankle soreness

Hurts is dealing with left ankle soreness following Sunday's loss to the Giants, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts struggled in Sunday's matchup and completed 14 of 31 passes for 129 yards and three interceptions while rushing eight times for 77 yards. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact the quarterback's availability for Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Jets, but coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that the team will have a better idea of the 23-year-old's status Wednesday. If Hurts is unavailable Sunday, Gardner Minshew likely would take on a starting role.

Struggles on the road

Hurts completed 14 of 31 pass attempts for 129 yards and three interceptions while running for 77 yards on eight carries against the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: Hurts could have had a game-winning touchdown pass at the end if Jalen Reagor had caught one of two on-target passes in traffic, but both were dropped and the comeback attempt ended with the score 13-7. After conducting a more run-heavy offense in recent weeks, the Eagles went pass-happy to open this game, and coincidence or not, Hurts struggled worse than he has in a month or so. A game against the Jets in Week 13 could be just what Hurts needs to hit his stride again, but according to Tim…read more

Three rushing scores in win

Hurts completed 13 of 24 passes for 147 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added 69 yards and three rushing touchdowns on 18 carries in the Eagles' 40-29 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis: Hurts once again turned in a relatively subdued performance through the air, falling short of 200 passing yards for the fourth straight game and sixth in the last seven overall. However, the athletic second-year signal-caller remained free of turnovers, managed to top 50 rushing yards for fifth straight contest and furnished his third effort with multiple touchdowns on the ground of the campaign. Hurts' statistical downturn through the air remains somewhat confounding considering he threw for…read more

Tosses two TDs in win

Hurts completed 16 of 23 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos. He also gained 53 rushing yards on 14 carries.

Analysis: The second-year QB failed to reach 200 passing yards for the fifth time in the last six games, but between his running and two first-half TD passes to DeVonta Smith, Hurts was able to put together a productive performance. He's now eclipsed 2,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards on the season heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Saints.

Not much passing again

Hurts completed 11 of 17 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown and gained 62 yards on 10 carries in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: For the second straight game, Hurts attempted fewer than 20 passes, and for the fourth time in the last five games he threw for fewer than 200 yards. What tosses he did make mostly went to DeVonta Smith, as the rookie hauled in 71.6 percent of his passing yards. Hurts' running gives him a strong fantasy floor, but the Eagles' reluctance to let him loose as a passer limits his ceiling heading into a Week 10 clash with the Broncos.

Hardly needs to pass in win

Hurts completed nine of his 14 passing attempts for 103 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added seven carries for 71 yards in Sunday's 44-6 win over the Lions.

Analysis: The Eagles were able to run at will on Detroit and had a three-score lead at the half, so Hurts' arm took a back seat in this one. All of his passing numbers were season lows. On the bright side, he led the team in rushing. With a much better opposing offense on tap in the Chargers in Week 9, the 23-year-old will likely have to throw more to keep up the pace.

Solid showing in Week 7 loss

Hurts completed 18 of 34 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns while gaining a team-high 61 rushing yards on 13 carries in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: While the second-year quarterback once again wasn't particularly efficient as a passer and lost his first fumble of the year, Hurts still found Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Reagor for scores through the air. He also hit Dallas Goedert for a two-point conversion. Hurts will take a 10:4 TD:INT, plus five rushing TDs, into a Week 8 matchup on the road against the Lions.

Three total TDs despite struggles

Hurts completed 12 of 26 passes for 115 yards with one touchdown and one interception and added 44 yards and another two scores on 10 carries in the Eagles' 28-22 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night. He also completed a two-point conversion pass.

Analysis: The second-year signal-caller simply couldn't find any consistent rhythm as a passer, but his ability to make plays with his legs still left his fantasy managers pleased. Hurts scooted in from six and two yards out in the second half to help the Eagles make things interesting, a pair of scores that were preceded by a five-yard touchdown toss to Zach Ertz in the first quarter. Hurts now has back-to-back sub-200-yard efforts, and his passing yardage total was also a season-low figure. However, he…read more

Scores twice on ground

Hurts completed 22 of 37 passes for 198 yards and an interception, and rushed nine times for 30 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers. He also had a successful two-point conversion pass.

Analysis: Hurts endured a nightmarish first half, passing for just 74 yards on 24 attempts while seeing a shotgun snap sail over his head and roll out of the end zone for a safety. To make matters worse, the signal-caller had a badly overthrown interception in the third quarter, which came after his team lost another fumble the possession prior. Despite all those negative developments, though, Hurts rallied to close the third, hitting Quez Watkins for 53 yards before sneaking in himself for a touchdown.…read more

Two TDs in loss, two more negated

Hurts completed 32 of 48 passes for 387 yards and two touchdowns to go with eight carries for 47 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Hurts found Dallas Goedert for a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter but later had would-be touchdowns to Goedert and Zach Ertz wiped out by penalties, as the Eagles ended up settling for field goals in both instances. He moved the ball well through the air and actually led the team in rushing yards as well, but Hurts couldn't keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs offense. Hurts padded his stats with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Greg Ward with four seconds remaining,…read more

Struggles despite yardage

Hurts completed 25 of 39 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Monday night's 41-21 loss to the Cowboys. He also rushed nine times for 35 yards.

Analysis: Hurts' first play was a 38-yard connection with Dallas Goedert, but the quarterback was promptly intercepted on an attempted deep ball afterward. The Eagles and their starting signal-caller struggled to move the ball following that turnover, punting four straight times to end the first half. To begin the second, Hurts saw rookie wideout DeVonta Smith slip while getting out of his break on a target near the sideline, allowing Trevon Diggs to intercept him and run 59 yards for a touchdown. With…read more

Gets it done as rusher

Hurts completed 12 of 23 passes for 190 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-11 loss to the 49ers. He also chipped in 10 rushes for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Hurts' final line through the air wasn't all that impressive and was nowhere near his output from Week 1. However, he did narrowly miss out on a much bigger day. It appeared that Hurts had connected with Jalen Reagor for a 36-yard touchdown during the team's third offensive possession, though the call was eventually overturned. He also connected with Quez Watkins for a 91-yard gain, but the drive ultimately stalled at the goal line. Even with those missed opportunities, Hurts provided a solid…read more

Spectacular in Week 1 win

Hurts completed 27 of 35 passes for 264 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 32-6 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 62 yards and recovered two fumbles, including one of his own.

Analysis: Any lingering doubts about Hurts' ability to build on his relatively solid late-season starting audition in 2020 definitively were answered Sunday, with the second-year signal-caller looking every bit as good as his numbers imply. Hurts connected with seven different pass catchers and appeared increasingly comfortable as the game went on. The Oklahoma product got the Eagles' scoring started with a pretty 18-yard scoring lob to rookie DeVonta Smith, and he followed it up with a pair of touchdown…read more

Doesn't play in preseason finale

Hurts didn't see a snap in Friday's preseason tie against the Jets.

Analysis: Heading into the contest, coach Nick Sirianni hadn't indicated whether his starting QB would see any action, but the decision ended up being made for him as storms delayed the start of the game by half an hour and left the field in somewhat poor condition, giving the Eagles no reason to risk an injury for Hurts. The 23-year-old will begin his first full season as the starter in Week 1 against Atlanta.

Status for preseason finale unknown

Coach Nick Sirianni said Sunday that he has yet to make a decision on Hurts' availability for Friday's preseason contest at the Jets, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: Three days after taking a seat preseason Week 2 due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Hurts was back on the field in his usual capacity, but what is less clear is whether he'll get any more in-game reps before Week 1. Fortunately for Sirianni, he'll have joint practices with the Jets this week before having to make a call on Hurts and other key Eagles.

Returns to practice in full

Hurts (illness) put in a full practice Sunday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After sitting out preseason Week 2 with a non-COVID-19 illness, Hurts spent two days away from the team. Upon his return Sunday, he took part in stretches, tossed a few passes and progressed to team drills, taking part in every stage of the session. With his illness behind him, Hurts now will wait and see if coach Nick Sirianni will turn to the starters in Friday's exhibition at the Jets.

On practice field Sunday

Hurts (illness) returned to practice Sunday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Hurts was a late scratch from Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots as he arrived at MetLife Stadium feeling ill and eventually went to the hospital. He was diagnosed with a non-COVID-19 illness and told to stay away from the Eagles for two days. After exactly that much time away, Hurts was in pads for the stretching portion of Sunday's session, but it's unclear how many reps he'll be able to log.

Severity of illness disclosed

Hurts (illness) was diagnosed Thursday with a stomach infection and will be away from the Eagles for at least the next two days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: A late scratch from Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Hurts apparently didn't feel well when he got the stadium but still went through pregame warmups. After he was ruled out, he was deemed to not be dealing with COVID-19. Then, coach Nick Sirianni told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network following the contest that Hurts is "fine now. He's doing OK now." But Hurts' visit to the hospital unveiled that he shouldn't be around his teammates in the short term.

Absence explained by Sirianni

Coach Nick Sirianni said after Thursday's preseason loss to the Patriots that Hurts (illness) was held out due to pain in his stomach, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Analysis: According to Sirianni, Hurts didn't feel well when he arrived at Lincoln Financial Field and attempted to go through pregame warmups, but he couldn't get past it and was scratched shortly before the contest. Hurts was evaluated at the hospital, and afterward Sirianni told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network that the QB is "fine now. He's doing OK now." Hurts missed out on a chance to get in some reps with college teammate and 2021 first-round receiver DeVonta Smith, who made his pro debut Thursday,…read more

Illness not COVID-related

Hurts doesn't have an illness related to COVID-19, which has sidelined him from Thursday's preseason game versus the Patriots, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hurts was on the field for pregame warmups but was a late scratch ahead of kickoff, giving veteran Joe Flacco a chance to work with Eagles starting skill-position players. It's unclear if coach Nick Sirianni will have any of those players, including Hurts, participate in Philly's final exhibition Friday, Aug. 27 at the Jets, which may not allow the second-year QB and rookie first-round WR DeVonta Smith to work in a game together before Week 1.

Out with illness

Hurts is sitting out Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots due to an illness.

Analysis: The Eagles were anticipating the first in-game connection between Hurts and rookie first-round receiver DeVonta Smith, who missed the team's first exhibition with an MCL sprain. But an illness has kept Hurts away from the field Thursday, delaying the reunion of college teammates. This may have been Hurts' last chance to play in the preseason, but Philly does have one more contest on the slate next Friday, Aug. 27 at the Jets.

Looks for TEs in preseason opener

Hurts completed three of seven passes for 54 yards and rushed once for four yards in two drives of work in Thursday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: All three of Hurts' completions went to tight ends, as we got a preview of an Eagles offense that's likely to feature plenty of looks for both Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz. The mobile quarterback didn't use his wheels much here, but Hurts will likely utilize his rushing ability more once the games start to count. Backup Joe Flacco was significantly more effective against Pittsburgh's backups, producing a touchdown and two field goals on four drives, but Hurts remains locked in as Philadelphia's…read more

Likely to suit up Thursday

Hurts and the Eagles' starting offense will play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: While he has an improved supporting cast around him, Hurts also is learning a new system, so taking a test drive with the first-teamers in Philly's exhibition opener is no surprise. Coach Nick Sirianni wouldn't divulge exactly how long he'll allow the starters to remain on the field, but in any case, Hurts will be without 10th overall pick and college teammate DeVonta Smith for most of the preseason slate as Smith recovers from an MCL sprain, leaving Jalen Reagor, Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham…read more

Improving at camp

Hurts was sharp at Monday's practice, enjoying his best day of training camp so far, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Analysis: Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia agrees it was Hurts' best practice this summer, with highlights including perfect throws on a go route to Quez Watkins and a deep out to Travis Fulgham. The second-year QB completed nine of his first 10 passes in the team portion of practice, but on a less positive note, he did lose top receiver DeVonta Smith to a knee sprain later in the session. Shorr-Parks notes that Hurts has steadily improved throughout camp, building up to Tuesday when…read more

Gets Heisman-winning new target

Hurts was reunited with former Alabama teammate DeVonta Smith after the Eagles selected the wide receiver with the 10th overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Although Hurts hasn't officially been named the Eagles' starting quarterback, selecting a receiver rather than another signal-caller seemingly cements him in the role even further. It also gives the 22-year-old another first-round weapon to throw to after Philadelphia took Jalen Reagor out of TCU last year. It's certainly a major upgrade for a receiving corps that compiled the third-fewest receiving yards last season (2,082).

Yet to be named starter

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman were both noncommittal on Hurts entering 2021 as the team's starting quarterback, CBS 3 Philadelphia reports. "To name any starters at this particular time...we've been working with these guys for two days," Sirianni said during an April 21 press conference. "My biggest thing is competition. We're going to have competition at every position."

Analysis: With a new coaching staff in the fold for 2021, all of the Eagles' returning players will have to earn their keep, and Hurts is no exception. As the roster currently stands, Hurts' main competition for the starting job is 36-year-old Joe Flacco. After trading down from the No. 6 overall pick in this week's NFL draft to the No. 12 spot, the Eagles seemingly aren't in position to select any of the top signal-callers on the board, though it won't necessary preclude them from investing an early…read more

No job battle ahead?

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie wants to make Hurts' success the priority in 2021, rather than emphasizing competition at quarterback, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

Analysis: Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News has a different take, hinting that the Eagles still aren't sure about their second-year signal-caller. While Hurts sits atop the depth chart with Carson Wentz (Colts) out of the picture, Bowen and other Philadelphia beat writers have suggested the Eagles could pick a QB on Day 1 or 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft. This latest report from Mortensen doesn't seem concrete, but it at least does give us a hint about Lurie's thinking with the No. 6 overall pick.

Left atop depth chart

Hurts is the Eagles' top QB after they traded Carson Wentz to Indianapolis, though the team could still draft another signal-caller, according to Les Bowen of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Analysis: Already owners of the sixth overall pick, the Eagles added a 2021 third-rounder and a conditional 2022 second-round pick in the Wentz trade. What they do next depends on their confidence in Hurts, who had eight total touchdowns -- but also three INTs and six fumbles -- over the final four weeks of 2020. The 22-year-old is a clear favorite for the Week 1 start at this point, but the Eagles still have time to add competition, or at least a high-end backup.

Benched late in losing effort

Hurts completed just seven of his 20 passing attempts for 72 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while adding 34 yards and two rushing touchdowns on eight carries before being benched in favor of Nate Sudfeld in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Washington Football Team.

Analysis: Hurts will finish his abbreviated time as a rookie starter with a 52 percent completion rate, 1,061 passing yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions to go along with 354 rushing yards and three more scores on 63 carries over 15 games (three starts). Controversy has swirled around the 2020 second-round pick from the time he replaced Carson Wentz to his benching Sunday in a game that enabled Washington to clinch the NFC East division with a 7-9 record. Fans of the New York Giants may be…read more

Set to start season finale

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Hurts will start in the Week 17 game against Washington, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

Analysis: The Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention with Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys. Hurts will close out the season under center for the Eagles, aiming to play spoiler for Washington. Through three games as a starter, Hurts has completed 62 of 113 passes (54.9 percent) for 847 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, and he's added 238 yards and a score on the ground. His accuracy could improve, but Hurts has still recorded a respectable 7.7 yards per attempt this season, on par…read more

Tops 400 total yards in loss

Hurts completed 21 of 39 passes for 342 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions and added 69 rushing yards on nine carries in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Analysis: The rookie set a new career high in passing yards in his third NFL start, topping last week's 338 while once again posting strong numbers on the ground. However, he also committed multiple turnovers for the first time as the Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention. Hurts will at least get a chance to play spoiler in Week 17 as Philadelphia hosts a Washington club that needs to win to lock up an NFC East title.

Officially named starter again

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Hurts will start at Dallas in Week 16, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: The announcement doesn't come as any sort of surprise, given how spectacularly the rookie signal-caller has resurrected Philadelphia's offense in back-to-back starts. Hurts is coming fresh off a close loss to the Cardinals in which he went toe to toe with Kyler Murray, accounting for four total TDs while passing for 338 yards and rushing for another 63 yards. Given the playmaking abilities Hurts has displayed, both through the air and on the ground, he projects as a high-end fantasy option…read more

Accounts for four TDs in defeat

Hurts completed 24 of 44 pass attempts for 338 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Cardinals. He also carried 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the 33-26 loss.

Analysis: Hurts completed just 55 percent of his passes, but seven passes of more than 20 yards helped him pile up an impressive yardage total. He connected with Quez Watkins and Greg Ward (twice) for touchdowns in a big second quarter and later scored his first career rushing touchdown. On that note, Hurts made several plays with his legs and has now generated 169 rushing yards on 29 attempts over his first two starts. Despite his inaccuracy and three fumbles (none lost) on the day, Hurts enjoyed an…read more

Drawing another start

Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday that Hurts will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hurts was dynamic in Sunday's 24-21 upset win over the Saints, running for 106 yards while also avoiding mistakes through the air, with 167 passing yards and a touchdown. Considering the struggles Philadelphia's offense has endured with Carson Wentz under center this season, and how effective Hurts' skill set looked in his first NFL start, it doesn't come as a surprise to see Pederson commit to the rookie for at least another week. As he's already showcased, Hurts' elite rushing ability make…read more

Runs wild in win over Saints

Hurts completed 17 of 30 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown and carried the ball 18 times for 106 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Saints.

Analysis: The New Orleans defense hadn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 55 straight games, but both Hurts and Miles Sanders (115 yards and two TDs on 14 carries) reached that mark in the upset win. Hurts didn't exactly dazzle as a passer, but considering the quality of the opposition and the final result, it was a very successful first NFL start for the rookie. Eagles coach Doug Pederson hasn't yet committed to Hurts as his starter beyond this game, but it would be a shock if he weren't under center in a…read more

Taking over as starter

Head coach Doug Pederson plans to name Hurts the Eagles' new starting quarterback ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Philadelphia will pull the plug on incumbent Carson Wentz after he again presided over an unproductive offense in last week's 30-16 loss to Green Bay, which dropped the Eagles to 3-8-1 on the season. After Wentz was removed in the second half, Hurts at least provided some semblance of a spark, completing five of 12 attempts for 109 yards, a touchdown and an interception to go with 29 yards on five carries. While questions about Hurts' accuracy and arm strength remain, the elite rushing ability…read more

Starter for Week 14 undetermined

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that he hasn't yet decided whether Hurts or Carson Wentz will start Sunday's upcoming game against the Saints, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Analysis: Hurts replaced Wentz in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay, and he managed the first passing TD of his young career while commanding the Eagles' final four drives. Pederson said Hurts provided "the spark that got us back in the football game," per Kristen Rodgers of FOX 29 Philadelphia, a likely allusion to the fact that he accounted for the Eagles' only offensive score of the day. Peterson said he'd make a decision at quarterback Wednesday, per Bowen, though it also could…read more

Throws first career TD in loss

Hurts replaced Carson Wentz at quarterback early in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Packers, completing five of 12 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown with one interception. He also gained 29 rushing yards on five carries.

Analysis: The Eagles produced only a field goal in the first two quarters, and after Wentz led them to another three-and-out to begin the second half, Hurts got the call. While he wasn't particularly efficient in the first extended action of his NFL career, he did toss a 32-yard TD to Greg Ward midway through the fourth quarter for Philly's only offensive touchdown of the day. It's not clear yet who Doug Pederson will name as his starting QB for Week 14, but whoever is under center will face a very tough…read more

Likely to see added snaps Monday

Hurts is expected to see increased playing time at quarterback behind starter Carson Wentz in Monday's game against the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The Eagles have mostly deployed Hurts as a gadget player through their first 10 games, but this week, Rapoport notes that "unlike previous snaps, Wentz won't be on the field" when Hurts is out there. In preparation for Hurts taking on an expanded role, the Eagles have handed the rookie second-round pick increased reps with the first-team offense during recent practices, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com. According to Rapoport, the added usage with the first team is expected to result in Hurts seeing…read more

Will keep seeing designed plays

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that getting Hurts involved on designed plays is "something we'll continue to explore" each week, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Analysis: Pederson also suggested that Hurts could handle packages out of the backfield if Miles Sanders (knee) is forced to miss any time. The rookie signal-caller provided Philadelphia's offense with a few much-needed sparks during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Ravens, though his insertion into the lineup was only occasional. On three touches Sunday (two carries, one reception), Hurts totaled 26 yards, and he also served as an effective decoy during a 74-yard run by Sanders which, after a fumble, resulted…read more

Deemed active Week 2

Hurts is listed as active Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: Just one game removed from opening his pro career as a healthy scratch, Hurts will serve as the No. 2 quarterback to Carson Wentz, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports. The 2020 second-round pick will swap in for Nate Sudfeld, but it remains to be seen if Hurts will make any sort of impact or merely has surpassed Sudfeld for the backup gig.

Healthy scratch Sunday

Hurts (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Washington.

Analysis: A healthy scratch to begin his NFL career, the 2020 second-round pick will don street clothes while Nate Sudfeld serves as Carson Wentz's backup. Without an injury to the two quarterbacks in front of him, Hurts may be a regular inactive for the Eagles for the foreseeable future.

Starts off as No. 3 QB

Coach Doug Pederson said Carson Wentz and Nate Sudfeld -- rather than Hurts -- will get most of the QB reps during training camp, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

Analysis: It isn't the first time Pederson has hinted at Hurts beginning his career as the No. 3 quarterback in Philadelphia. That said, the rookie took 16 snaps in a sharp performance at Monday's practice, while Sudfeld got 17 snaps and didn't play nearly as well, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94 WIP. Even if Sudfeld enters Week 1 in the backup job, Hurts could oust him before the end of the season.
