Philadelphia Eagles quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jalen-hurts-138227/">Jalen Hurts </a>is currently in concussion protocol, but that doesn’t mean he will miss the playoff game against the Green Bay Packers this weekend. On the NFL Network, NFL insider Mike Garafolo said he expects Hurts to return from his injury and start on Sunday. 



“Nick Sirianni saying today Jalen Hurts is still in the protocol, it’s a little bit of gamesmanship,” <a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1876432434864050428">Garafolo said on The Insiders</a>. “From my understanding, he was almost attending the last couple of games, but the Eagles have a policy that players who are going through concussions just stay home.

I don’t know, we’ll see.’

“…I don’t have any great concern. I think Jalen Hurts is going to play in this game. He may not get cleared officially out of the protocol until the end of the week.

Jalen Hurts has not practiced since suffering a concussion in the first quarter of the game against the Washington Commanders on Dec. 22. He missed the last two games, with <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kenny-pickett-73364/">Kenny Pickett</a> starting in the Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/tanner-mckee-110148/">Tanner McKee</a> starting on Sunday against the New York Giants.
