The Philadelphia Eagles closed out the 2023-24 regular season with challenges, ending 11-6 on a two-game losing streak. Coach Nick Sirianni remains optimistic about a deep playoff run, but the spotlight is on Jalen Hurts and a lingering finger injury.
Despite concerns, Sirianni dismisses worries over Jalen Hurts’ injury for the upcoming playoffs. The star QB, known for his resilience, is pushing through more than a broken finger. Coach Sirianni expressed admiration for Hurts’ determination, recalling the QB’s gutsy return to the Week 18 game against the Giants.
“I know that finger is going to be sore,” Sirianni acknowledged, sharing how Hurts’s decision to re-enter the game gave him goosebumps.
The Eagles faced a stunning 27-10 loss to the Giants, with Hurts managing only 55 passing yards before leaving the field. Veteran QB Marcus Mariota stepped in, but the Philly offense fell short.
Now, entering the Jan. 15th Wild Card matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Eagles are on a mission. Despite late-season struggles, they seek redemption for their 2023 Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Coach Sirianni’s unwavering belief in Jalen Hurts reflects the team’s spirit. The star QB, known for overcoming physical challenges, aims to compete at his best in the postseason.
As the Eagles gear up for the playoffs, the hope is that Hurts won’t be hindered by too much pain. The journey ahead promises suspense and determination on the road to redemption.
