Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss Saturday’s bout against the Cowboys with a sprained shoulder, coach Nick Sirianni said in a press conference Thursday morning. Hurts suffered the injury this past weekend against the Bears.
Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew is in line to start the game in Hurts’s absence.
“It’s looking like it’s going to be Gardner,” Sirianni said. “Jalen did everything he possibly could to get his body ready to go. Just at the end of the day, he’s not going to be able to do it. And he tried like crazy. And I know he still wants to go. Jalen Hurts is the toughest player I’ve ever been around.”
