Jalen Hurts Cleared for Playoff Game

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been cleared from concussion protocol and is set to play in the upcoming playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. After suffering a concussion on December 22 against the Washington Commanders, Hurts missed the final two games of the regular season but returned to practice as a full participant this week. His teammates have noted his sharpness and energy upon his return. Star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who led the Eagles in receiving yards this season, missed recent practices due to a knee issue but is expected to play. The Eagles have released quarterback Ian Book, signaling confidence in Hurts' readiness. The Eagles, with Hurts in the lineup, have been strong contenders, holding a 12-2 record in games he finished this season.
