I can’t believe this is happening again.  I mean I can, but what are the odds!?  The last time the Eagles QB was about to be league MVP (Carson Wentz), he got hurt December 10, 2017. The next time the Eagles QB was about to be league MVP (Jalen Hurts), it happens on December 18, 2022.  WHAT ARE THE ODDS!

 The good news kinda is that Jalen has a shoulder sprain and should be ready for the playoffs (Knock on Wood)!  When Carson tore his ACL he was out for the rest of the season.  

Here is the latest on Jalen’s injury. Let me add it hasn’t been confirmed he won’t play on Saturday against Dallas, but all reports say he will sit it out so it doesn’t get worse for the playoffs.

• It's a Sprained Shoulder

  I’m told there is no doubt:
  Jalen Hurts will be ready for the playoffs. I’m told the sprained shoulder is not considered serious.
  
  Jalen’s status for Saturday in Dallas is in doubt.

• He Was Able to Throw This Pass

  I’m told sprain is to Jalen Hurts’ right throwing shoulder. I’m told he needs some rest and rehab. It is amazing some of the throws he made and how well he played after the sprain. How about 68 yards to AJ Brown
  
  One Eagle told me today
  “He’s a tough MF”

• Orthopedic Suregon Response

  Orthopedic source on #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' injury: if it's a shoulder sprain, 10-14 days of rest would likely be recommended, but it's mostly a matter of pain tolerance. The risk of playing early is just prolonging full healing. Knowing Hurts, a one-game absence may be the max.

• Coach Sirianni Said Gardner is Ready

  Nick Sirianni this morning on @SportsRadioWIP if Gardner Minshew has to start Christmas Eve in Dallas
  
  “We’ll have 100 percent confidence in him because he can ball. He's a winner and that's all he knows how to do”

• Jalen is Tough

  #Eagles LT Jordan Mailata on QB Jalen Hurts taking hits and popping up, except for the one it took a little longer on:
  
  “The one that scared me he just laid there. I ran over and said, ‘Stay down.’ And he said, ‘Pick me the fuck up.’ And I said, ‘Yes, sir.’”

• Hopefully This is True

  The Eagles have never had an MVP before.  It’s Time!

  Jalen Hurts shouldn’t “lose” the MVP award if he misses a few games. He’s the guy right now. I’d hope the voters don’t immediately dismiss what he’s done because of a week or two out of the lineup. 13-1 and the true leader. My thoughts !
