Morning briefing: 9-Nov-24 - Jalen Hurts dealing with ankle injury and facing two NFC East games in 5 days

New reporting from ESPN’s Tim McManus states Jalen Hurts is indeed dealing with an ankle injury.

According to a league source, Hurts has been dealing with a mild ankle issue for a couple weeks. A separate league source described it as “lower leg soreness” and that his limited practice Wednesday was for load management purposes, with the Eagles playing two games in a span of five days against the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders. The source added that Hurts was held back from dropping and planting during the individual periods but did throw the football later Wednesday during team walkthrough.
