PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts returned to practice after a two-week layoff this past week, without cameras and social media posts and fans present to dissect his performance.
As the only eyes available, Hurts’ teammates largely praised his comeback.
He was sharp, they said. Dialed in. Played with energy. It was dope.
They were the kind of encouraging reviews the second-seeded Eagles (14-3) needed before hosting Sunday’s NFC wild-card game against the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers (11-6) in the first round of the NFL playoffs, with the home team still unsure what to expect from a quarterback coming out of concussion protocol.
Well, maybe certain of one thing.
