Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts has been playing through a bothersome knee injury, but he's getting closer to full strength.
Hurts told reporters on Thursday that he is no longer wearing a sleeve on his knee at practice as he prepares to lead the Eagles in a Super Bowl LVII rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
"Everything is trending forward," Hurts said.
Hurts appeared to suffer the injury in Philadelphia's Week 7 victory over the Miami Dolphins, as he was seen wearing a knee brace after halftime.
