Jalen Hurts let his team know it will take every player being on the same page to win on Sunday. Before the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game, Hurts gave a pregame speech to his teammates in which he made it known a team effort was needed for victory.

Hurts took the field for pre-game warmups with his left knee braced and heavily wrapped: Hurts suffered a knee injury in Sunday’s game against the Rams on a sack late in the third quarter and was taken to the blue medical tent for evaluation.

The severity of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ left knee injury is a major concern heading into Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at home against the Washington Commanders. Hurts, who practiced every day this week, told reporters on Friday that his knee is getting better, but he still plans on wearing a brace against the Commanders.

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles are just one win away from returning to the Super Bowl and adding another NFC championship trophy to their mantle two years after their most recent. But it won't be easy with the streaking Washington Commanders, who they're very familiar with as division rivals, coming to town on Sunday.

One of those hits left him with a hobbled knee. He seems to have avoided a major injury, but when asked whether he was OK by Melissa Stark on the broadcast, Hurts replied “I finished the game,” which won’t leave Eagles fans with a ton of confidence out there.

Jalen Hurts signed a 5-year $255 million contract extension with the Eagles during the 2023 offseason. This move secured their franchise QB through the 2028 season after he led them to Super Bowl LVII.
