Jalen Hurts is expected to start for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday against Washington while playing through an injury to his left knee.
In the second half of a 31-17 victory over Miami, Hurts played with a brace on his left knee yet still led the Eagles on a go-ahead drive. Hurts clearly hasn't been himself this season. The game-breaking runs have been kept in check and his eight interceptions are two more than he threw a season ago.Hurts didn't specify when he was injured except to say it wasn't in the game against the Dolphins.
The defending NFC champions are 6-1 and surely can't afford to lose Hurts for any length of time. They started 13-1 last season before Hurts sprained his right shoulder and they lost two straight games. He returned in the finale and led the Eagles to a win over the Giants and the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Hurts finished runner-up to Patrick Mahomes in AP NFL MVP voting and lost again to him when Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Hurts was rewarded in the offseason with a five-year, $255 million extension, including $179.3 million guaranteed.
