Jalen is hurting he left the Philadelphia Eagles’ Sunday, December 22, football game against the Washington Commanders after suffering a concussion.
Hurts, 26, left the field suddenly in the middle of the first quarter after his head collided with the turf. The Eagles quarterback had been hit by the Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner while diving head-first on a 13-yard scramble. Washington linebacker Frankie Luvu then hit Hurts in the head. (Back NBC Sportsflags were not called by referees.)
Hurts was promptly evaluated in the medical tent before he walked out of the stadium and into the locker room. According to social media statementHurts was ruled “out” for the rest of the football game.
Kenny Pickett was then called in to replace Hurts, quickly completing a touchdown pass to teammate AJ Brown.
Further updates on Hurts’ condition have not been shared. His teammate, running back Will Shipley, was also assessed with a concussion during Sunday’s game and later decided against returning to the field.
Hurts, for his part, hadn’t missed a single NFL game all season, back ESPN.
In last week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hurts was too a fine of over $5,000 for wearing different colored cleats on the field. (Jordan Brand, who made the shoes, later offered to cover the cost.)
“I was supposed to wear the Columbia 11s that I gave to the kids that were in the ‘Wings Initiative’ after last week’s game and they never came in,” Hurts told reporters at the time. “I have all my shoes there eventually. Guy wanted to take some pictures. It took about five minutes, some very casual ones. And ended up taking pictures with two different cleats. And I was like, ‘I’ll wear these on Sunday because my shoes didn’t come in.’ Hopefully they will come in soon.”
Hurt previously wore different colored shoes during a game in October after one came off in the middle of the game.
“I had to go to Jalen Two-Shoes for a bit,” he joked.
Hurts was drafted by the Eagles in 2020, three years before he led the team to the Super Bowl but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
“You either win or you learn,” Hurts told reporters after the championship. “That’s how I feel. You either win or you learn. Win, lose, I’m always reflecting on the things I could have done better, anything you could have done better to try and take that next step. It will be the same process I always have.”
