Daily News | Nick Sirianni on Eagles QB Jalen Hurts: ‘I will not rule him out’ after shoulder injury
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.
“Definitely a chance,” Hurts added of whether he’ll play. “We’re taking it day by day, though. Everybody knows that I’m dealing with something, I think that’s pretty public, it’s out there. I’m not really wanting to talk about myself — obviously being the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles, you can’t run from that.”
It’s worth noting that Minshew attended Mike Leach’s funeral service out of state to honor his former coach and missed Tuesday’s walk-through as a result. Sirianni would not say whether Hurts would participate in the session or if third-string quarterback Ian Book would get the lion’s share of the first-team reps.
Hurts’ ability to change games with his running ability has been a fixture of the Eagles offense this season, even though it can sometimes put him in harm’s way. Hurts tied his season-high 17 rushing attempts against the Bears and took a handful of big hits as a result.Don’t expect things to change when Hurts returns, though.
“There’s elements of gray that you have to live in,” Sirianni said. “We’d love for it to be completely black and white, but there might be some elements of gray in there.”
