Wednesday’s Injury Report
The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday in advance of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at Lincoln Financial Field.
Head Coach Nick Sirianni told reporters that both quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder) would participate and they did. If the Eagles held a full practice, both players would have been limited on Wednesday.
“Taking it a day at a time,” said Hurts, who confirmed that he will play Sunday.
When asked if the knee injury would impact his ability to run on Sunday, Hurts explained that “every game is different.”
Mitchell, who exited Sunday’s win on the opening defensive drive, said that he’s, “Feeling good, ready to go this Sunday. Just tried to make a tackle, kind of like felt something in my shoulder/neck area, just couldn’t come back in.”
-Tight end Dallas Goedert, who has eight catches for 103 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs, would have missed practice with an ankle injury.
Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens, who has played every offensive snap of the playoffs, would have missed practice with a back injury.
Everyone else would have practiced in at least a limited capacity. Wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey, who had his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, was a limited participant with the neck injury that landed him on Injured Reserve.
*Eagles participated in a walkthrough, so Wednesday’s injury report is an estimation.
