Good news on the injury front.
Jalen Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell will indeed play in the Philadelphia Eagles’ playoff matchup against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game this weekend, according to a report from 6ABC’s Jason Dumas.
Hurts suffered a knee injury during the Eagles’ Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams but didn’t miss a snap. His mobility did appear to be limited, however, and it remains to be seen if that’ll be the case again moving forward.
Mitchell, meanwhile, suffered a shoulder injury on the Rams’ first drive and did not return. Isaiah Rodgers filled in for Mitchell the rest of the game. Speaking in the locker room after the win, Mitchell told the Inquirer he’s “going to be good” to play against the Commanders. Additional reporting from Jordan Schultz stated that the Eagles were “hopeful and optimistic” about Mitchell’s chances of playing.
And now we have even more confirmation of good news for the Eagles.
It’ll still be interesting to see what the injury report looks like this week. The Eagles and Commanders will each issue their first version on Wednesday afternoon.
