Jalen Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell are set to play in the Philadelphia Eagles’ NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders this weekend, as reported by 6ABC’s Jason Dumas.
Hurts, who sustained a knee injury during the Eagles’ Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams, managed to stay in the game despite appearing to have limited mobility. It remains uncertain how much his movement will be affected in the upcoming matchup.
Quinyon Mitchell suffered a shoulder injury during the Rams’ first drive and did not return to the game. Isaiah Rodgers stepped in for Mitchell for the remainder of the contest. After the game, Mitchell expressed confidence about his availability for the NFC Championship, telling the Inquirer he’s “going to be good” to play against the Commanders. Jordan Schultz also reported that the Eagles were “hopeful and optimistic” regarding Mitchell’s chances of returning to action.
This confirmation brings positive news for the Eagles as they prepare for the crucial playoff game. The injury report, to be released on Wednesday afternoon, will provide more detailed updates on the status of both teams’ players as they gear up for the championship clash.
