Jalen Hurts has a sprained shoulder, doubtful to play against Dallas

[H2o]

If the Eagles are smart, and are concerned about only the post season, they shut him down for at least this week. No need to trot him out there against Demarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons. Keep him off the field, let him rest, and if he feels 100% then bring him out against the Saints. Don't risk your entire season over one game when you're 13-1 with almost everything locked up. You have two more games against the Saints and Giants afterward to win the division and secure the #1 seed.

This may be the answer to the "Is Hurts a true MVP?" question.  It will be interesting to see how the Eagles play without him.

 

They've played the 32nd ranked schedule in the NFL this year.  Nathan Peterman could be in the running for MVP candidate with that schedule.

that's what we get for relying on twitter news. from season ending broken collarbone to sprained shoulder.

 

crazy 

 

Usually when you get those 3 all confirming and reporting the same thing you can pretty much bank on it as being accurate.  Initial post was not from anyone I am familiar with for breaking that kind of stuff, may have jumped the gun with someone saying "we think it's a broken collarbone" versus actually waiting for full results to come back.

Being ready and being 100% are two different things as we saw with Allen's elbow issues. They likely won't be playing cupcakes in the playoffs like they have in the regular season.

They should rest him until the playoffs. They should have #1 seed wrapped up before the last week anyway.

Well, that may open a door for Josh if he can keep producing.

Praying for a speedy recovery, so when they get destroyed in the super bowl there are no excuses!

Agreed. If Josh can go 3-0 with say 9 or more TDs and zero turnovers the rest of the way I actually think he’d have an excellent chance at it.

Sprained shoulder, no break? he’s fine.  He will be back rolling in a couple weeks. Eagles hopes are not dashed, yet.

I’m really not sure what a “shoulder sprain” is other than a diagnosis of exclusion. Sounds like something that shouldn’t be a problem, until it is. This is his throwing arm and any injury to his rotator cuff could get ugly fast. They should shelve him until the playoffs.

Minshew is deadly, no loss

Remember cracked bones can be called broken.  We heard that with Beasley and his broken leg he ran on.

He is deadly like Russian Roulette - one of six shots are deadly.

NFC East is one of the best division in football this year so I would not count it as "cupcakes'.

Jaguars opponents can be called cupcakes.

Record wise. DVOA wise is an entirely different story. Who you play matters. You don't play every other team in the NFL like all the other sports leagues do.

Eagles have been one of the luckiest teams with their core and health this year. 
One thing this does do is if they play San Francisco and their defense this is going to make them less likely to run designed runs for him which is a big part of their offense.

Where is the support group thread for those who are in the playoffs and have Jalen as their QB

[biLLyBuFFs]

Man, heal up..sucks cuz he was having a great year.  Would love to see a Bills Eagles SB

Eagles will be perfectly fine. They need to win one game to clinch the one seed. They could easily beat nyg or saints with minshew with how stacked that team is. 

 

Enjoy your month off Jalen see you in the divisional round.

He's not. Looking like I'll have to roll with Purdy Jones or Minshew.

Wait I don't understand  

 

You saying Lawrence isn't available?

This reads like the Rick James skit from Chappelle Show.
