Eagles Manage Jalen Hurts' Health for Playoffs

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is currently managing an ankle injury as the team prepares for the playoffs, marking a continuation of his struggle with injuries late in previous seasons. The Eagles have implemented a lower-body strengthening program during their mini-bye week to help improve Hurts' physical condition heading into crucial upcoming games. Hurts, who has not been fully healthy in past playoff runs, is optimistic about his recovery, stating he feels 'fine' and is focused on maintaining his health for the stretch run. Despite being limited in practice, he is expected to participate fully in the lead-up to their Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles, at 8-2, have a strong position in the NFC but face challenging matchups ahead, highlighting the importance of keeping Hurts healthy. As the team navigates injury management, they aim to ensure Hurts can contribute effectively as they pursue postseason success.
