Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Aims to Play in Week 17 vs. Saints, per Report

The Eagles aren’t sure if quarterback Jalen Hurts will be ready to start on Sunday against the Saints as he recovers from a sprained shoulder injury suffered last week versus the Bears.

However, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Monday that Hurts will try to return Sunday in order to help the Eagles’ earn the NFC’s No. 1 seed and an accompanying first-round playoff bye.

“Had they beaten the Cowboys, I would say there’s no chance we were going to see Jalen Hurts this weekend against these New Orleans Saints,” Rapoport said on Monday’s Good Morning Football.
