The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL this season. After a disastrous start to the season, the Eagles turned things around with a miraculous comeback win against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. With the team now in the thick of the playoff race, Eagles fans have been eagerly awaiting news on the status of their starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts.
On Thursday, Hurts finally provided some clarity about his status. Speaking to the media, Hurts confirmed that he expects to play in the Eagles’ matchup against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend.
“I’m feeling good,” said Hurts. “I’m expecting to be out there Sunday. I’m feeling confident and ready to go.”
The news is a huge boost to the Eagles’ playoff hopes. Hurts has been a revelation since taking over the starting quarterback job from Carson Wentz. In four starts, Hurts has thrown for 876 yards and five touchdowns. He’s also added 339 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
The rookie QB has been a spark for the Eagles’ offense and his presence will be crucial to the team’s success against the Seahawks. Seattle is currently tied with the San Francisco 49ers for the best record in the NFC West and boast one of the best defenses in the entire NFL.
Hurts’ presence should give the Eagles a chance to compete. The rookie QB brings a dynamic element to the team’s offense, making them a threat to score points against any defense.
The Eagles have been on a roll since Hurts took over the starting job. The team has won three of their last four games and are now in the thick of the playoff race. A win on Sunday could move them up into the sixth seed in the NFC, setting up a potential wild card game against the Chicago Bears.
With Hurts now confirmed to be playing on Sunday, Eagles fans can finally rest easy knowing that their team has a chance to make the playoffs. The rookie QB’s presence has been a huge boost for the team, and his leadership could be the difference in a potential playoff game.
