Eagles' Hurts to return vs. Packers

Jalen Hurts is back.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback cleared concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Nick Sirianni announced Friday.

Hurts missed Philly's final two regular-season games after entering concussion protocol during a Dec. 22 contest against the Washington Commanders. Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee each made one start in his absence.

Hurts completed 68.7% of his passes for 2,903 yards and 18 touchdowns against just five interceptions in 15 starts over the 2024 campaign. He also rushed for 630 yards and 14 TDs to help the Eagles win the NFC East title and advance to the playoffs as the NFC's 2-seed.

Hurts' return is a major development for an Eagles team that went one-and-done in the postseason last year, suffering a 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old is 2-3 in the playoffs in his career.

He completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 278 yards and two touchdowns to two interceptions in Philly's season-opening victory over Green Bay in Brazil.
