Jalen Hurts out for a week or two with sprained shoulder

We may have seen the last of Jalen Hurts in the regular season. During this week's Philadelphia Eagles win, Hurts was tackled into the turf, where he suffered a sprained shoulder.

Jalen Hurts could miss next two games with sprained shoulder, NFL sources told The Inquirer.

It’s possible the #Eagles QB doesn’t play the rest of the regular season and for another month in the divisional round of the postseason.

Hurts did have an MRI on Monday, which was negative and showed that the injury wasn't serious, but it may be severe enough to pull him out for the next two weeks. The Eagles want him at his healthiest heading into the playoffs.

Backup QB Gardner Minshew will take Hurts' spot until he's ready to go, and it looks like that will happen at least this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys.
