Report: Jalen Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell will play in Eagles vs. Commanders NFC Championship Game
Jalen Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell will indeed play in the Philadelphia Eaglesâ playoff matchup against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game this weekend, according to a report from 6ABCâs Jason Dumas.
Hurts suffered a knee injury during the Eaglesâ Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams but didnât miss a snap. His mobility did appear to be limited, however, and it remains to be seen if thatâll be the case again moving forward.
Mitchell, meanwhile, suffered a shoulder injury on the Ramsâ first drive and did not return. Isaiah Rodgers filled in for Mitchell the rest of the game. Speaking in the locker room after the win, Mitchell told the Inquirer heâs âgoing to be goodâ to play against the Commanders. Additional reporting from Jordan Schultz stated that the Eagles were âhopeful and optimisticâ about Mitchellâs chances of playing.
And now we have even more confirmation of good news for the Eagles.
Itâll still be interesting to see what the injury report looks like this week. The Eagles and Commanders will each issue their first version on Wednesday afternoon.
