Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has consistently stated that his nagging knee injury will not hinder his participation in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. On Thursday, the Eagles received encouraging news that supports Hurts’ assurance. Initially listed as a limited participant on the team’s injury report, many questioned the extent to which the injury might impact his performance. Fortunately, as the game day approaches, Hurts appears to be making progress; he was recorded as a full participant for the first time that week on Thursday’s injury report.

In contrast to Hurts’ positive news, star tight end Dallas Goedert did not practice again on Thursday. While the injury report is not entirely favorable for the Eagles, Hurts remains a crucial element for the team’s success against the Commanders. His presence can significantly address several gaps in the team’s strategy, and Eagles fans expressed their excitement about his seemingly favorable condition for Sunday’s game, barring any significant setbacks. “Jalen not being limited is great,” one fan shared.

Sportsbooks seem to have anticipated Hurts will be ready for the game, making the Eagles the biggest favorites among all four teams playing on Sunday. Currently, they are favored by six points across most sportsbooks, and Thursday’s mostly clean injury report should enhance bettors’ confidence that the Eagles can cover the spread and secure a spot in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years.
