It Looks and Sounds Like Jalen Hurts Is Gutting Out a Pretty Brutal Leg Injury
Jalen Hurts didn’t come out to start the second half and it was reported he was wearing a brace on his left leg. This is how he looked heading into the locker room at the half:

Apparently Marcus Mariota was even in the offensive huddle before Hurts came out of the locker room and sent his ass back to the bench. Something’s definitely up with his left leg and this AJ Brown quote isn’t going to do anything to make people feel any easier:
A.J. Brown on Jalen Hurts: “He’s tough. I don’t wanna put his business out there but he’s a tough individual.”

Hurts looked a little slow during the Commies game, but had 15 rushing attempts against the Rams and looked like everything was back to normal. I don’t know if this flared up during the Jets game or tonight, but the Eagles seem to be very mum on it:
Nick Sirianni credits Jalen Hurts for playing as well and as tough as he did. Mentions he was going through a little something. #Eagles pic.twitter.com/KvPmq1fA42

You can see him wincing while running into the locker room:
Jalen Hurts battled through something tonight to get the #Eagles to 6-1. Clearly hobbled as he jogs off the field here. Maybe the guy at the end has something in his bag to soothe any aches 🎅🏻 pic.twitter.com/tMJCJUtgVh

I don’t know what the hell ESP is looking at here, but Hurts looks like he’s about to shit his pants. He’s definitely not putting all his weight on his left leg:

He’s definitely gutting out a pretty significant leg injury. What a gutsy performance from QB1. This dude is a DAWG:

Jalen Hurts was hit as he threw. AJ Brown caught it in between two defenders. Perfectly done by the @Eagles.

UPDATE: Hurts just spoke and kept it close to the vest, but it sounds like he’s definitely dealing with something. Answering “I hope so” about if he’ll be affected going forward doesn’t really inspire confidence:
Jalen Hurts didn’t say much about his leg injury.
-Wore a knee brace in the 2nd half
-Hopes he’ll be fine going forward
-Injury didn’t happen during the game tonight pic.twitter.com/poybltqkyU— Crossing Broad (@CrossingBroad) October 23, 2023
