The Philadelphia Eagles secured a victory against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, advancing to the NFC Championship, yet concerns about Jalen Hurts’s health remain. During a postgame discussion with NBC’s Melissa Stark, Hurts refrained from providing details about his injury. He sustained a knee injury in the third quarter when he was tackled, with his left knee pinned beneath him. Although he received a knee brace and continued in the game, it was evident he was limited, particularly when he was sacked for a safety later in the quarter despite having the opportunity to evade the rush or throw the ball away.
Stark addressed the injury during the postgame interview, asking, “You went into the medical tent, you came out with a brace. How is this gonna affect you next week?” Hurts responded, “I’m sure I’ll get asked about it later, I don’t know if I can answer right now. But I’m gonna go enjoy this win with my teammates.” When Stark followed up to ask, “Are you OK?” Hurts’s reply was equally vague.
