The Eagles’ QB was able to return to the game, but was wearing a knee brace after visiting the sideline.
With just a few minutes left in the third quarter on Sunday against the Rams, Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts took a huge hit that bent him backward and immediately had him grabbing his left knee in serious pain.

Hurts ended up finishing the drive, but then went into the blue medical tent after leaving the field.
Hurts was sacked five times through three quarters, and was already in pain even before halftime. He’s a guy that will play through whatever he can, and did return to the game with a knee brace after being checked out — and then immediately took another sack for a safety.
Kenny Pickett is back as QB2 after being able to recover a bit from his broken ribs, and Tanner McKee is the inactive emergency quarterback if needed.
Hopefully Hurts can stay clear of any other issues in the fourth quarter, and his knee injury isn’t actually something serious.
