Nick Sirianni on Eagles QB Jalen Hurts: ‘I will not rule him out’ after shoulder injury

PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni isn’t counting Jalen Hurts out.

The Eagles coach confirmed Tuesday that his starting quarterback suffered a sprained right shoulder Sunday in the win over the Chicago Bears, but he wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Hurts could be in the lineup for the Christmas Eve road game against the Dallas Cowboys.

“I don’t put anything past Jalen Hurts as far as his physical and mental toughness,” Sirianni said during his news conference. “There’s a chance he could play this week. He is one of the toughest guys I know and he heals fast. He’s a freak. ... I will not rule him out, I would not put a timetable on him. We’ll see what happens this week.”
