The Philadelphia Eagles had a scare on Sunday when their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, was forced to leave the game against the San Francisco 49ers after taking a hard hit to the head. However, the team has now received good news as Hurts has been cleared to return after undergoing an evaluation for a possible concussion.
The hit came in the fourth quarter of the game when Hurts was scrambling for a first down. He was hit in the head by 49ers defensive lineman Kentavius Street, causing him to drop the ball and leave the field. He was immediately taken to the locker room for evaluation and did not return to the game.
Fortunately, Hurts was cleared after the evaluation and is now ready to get back on the field. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said, “We’re very pleased that Jalen has been cleared and is ready to go. He’s an important part of our team and we’re glad he’s ok.”
This is great news for the Eagles as they look to make a playoff push in the last few weeks of the season. Hurts has been a key part of their offense this year, throwing for 1,061 yards and 6 touchdowns while also rushing for 464 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Eagles will need Hurts to be at his best if they want to make a deep playoff run. He has already proven he can be a difference maker and will be a key factor in their success in the coming weeks.
It’s great news that Hurts has been cleared to return and the Eagles can now focus on their playoff push. Hopefully he can stay healthy and help lead the team to success in the coming weeks.
