Eagles QB Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol from Dec. 22 hit

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is not yet cleared from concussion protocol and his status for the NFC wild-card playoff matchup with the Green Bay Packers could be up in the air until later this week.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said the Eagles had “no new information” Monday on Hurts, who has been out since suffering the head injury Dec. 22 against the Washington Commanders.

Because the Eagles had no scheduled practice Monday or Tuesday, the next update on Hurts’ status would come Wednesday with the first practice and injury report of the postseason.

Hurts was a nonparticipant on the injury and practice report last week, but likely would’ve been held out for the regular-season finale even if healthy. Running back Saquon Barkley, wide receivers A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith and offensive linemen Landon Dickerson, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata were all inactive last week.

Hurts completed 20 of 34 passes for 278 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Packers in Brazil.

Sirianni would not confirm whether Hurts was at the team facility or able to participate in meetings or film study during the team media session on Monday.

Tanner McKee started the Week 18 win over the New York Giants. Sirianni wouldn’t declare his depth chart at the position or give into questions about whether McKee might’ve moved ahead of Kenny Pickett as the QB2 in Philadelphia.

“We have a lot of confidence in both guys,” he said.

McKee completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards with two touchdowns and zero turnovers against the Giants.
