National reactions: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts could miss 2 weeks with a shoulder sprain

Jalen Hurts‘ status is in doubt for Saturday’s game against the Cowboys because of a sprained throwing shoulder suffered in the third quarter Sunday NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafalo is reporting.

A legit MVP candidate, Hurts has passed for 3,472 yards (67.3 completion rate) and 22 touchdowns with five interceptions, adding another 13 touchdowns on the ground, while leading the Eagles to a 13-1 record.

Hurts also leads all NFC quarterbacks in Pro Bowl fan votes.

With Gardner Minshew likely to get the start, here’s the national reaction to Monday’s news.

Some are going to argue that it was his normal workload, but with Miles Sanders going almost a half without one carry, who else was going to carry the football?

A much better player than Carson Wentz, but Hurts is starting to have the same problem deciphering when to slide, throw the football away or just give to Miles Sanders on run options.

If head coach Nick Sirianni wasn’t 22-10, he might be facing more heat for this stat.

Two weeks is the maximum time he should be out and an MVP candidate looking for a monster contract extension will not be sitting out a month.
