Jalen Hurts's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol. Sirianni said he will get daily updates from the doctors on Hurts' progress throughout the week. Hurts took a hard hit in the first half in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and never returned. The Eagles next play on Sunday, Dec. 29, versus the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. We'll have a better idea of Hurts' status for Week 17 once the Eagles resume practicing on Wednesday, but for now, fantasy managers need to prepare for the worst-case scenario of not having the stud QB for fantasy championship matchups. Backup Kenny Pickett went 14-for-24 for 143 yards with a TD and interception in relief of Hurts. At least in single-QB leagues, Pickett won't be the answer for fantasy managers if Hurts can't clear the concussion protocol.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) for the remainder of their Week 16 divisional match against the Washington Commanders. Hurts sustained this injury on their second offensive drive of the game when he took a hard hit on a 13-yard carry. On Philadelphia's opening drive, Hurts let Saquon Barkley do most of the work as punched in a two-yard score. Kenny Pickett found A.J. Brown in the end zone to finish their second drive once Hurts exited. Before the injury, Hurts completed just one pass for 11 yards to DeVonta Smith. He added 41 yards on three rushing attempts. Pickett will remain the starting quarterback for the remainder of the game and could be in line to start next weekend against the Dallas Cowboys depending on Hurts' availability.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) exited Sunday's game against the Commanders. Hurts has struggled on the throwing end so far, amassing 11 yards off 1-for-4 passing. But he at least gotten it done on the ground, rushing for 41 yards off three carries. Unfortunately, the signal-caller took a hard hit in the first quarter and was taken to the locker room for a concussion evaluation. Fantasy managers will anxiously await an update. However, as long as Hurts is off the field, Kenny Pickett, who has already thrown a touchdown, should handle things under center.
