The situation doesn’t appear too serious, but it’s just less than ideal when the starting quarterback choses to dodge questions about an injury. Even a simply saying that things are fine would have been enough.
Hurts continues to start for the Eagles despite the injury, helping them reach a 7-1 record.
In their latest game against the Commanders, Hurts a strong game. He threw 4 touchdowns and managed to avoid interceptions for the first time in four games. Hurts even earned Player of the Week honors after the 38-31 win.
Over his past two games, Hurts totaled 6 touchdowns with 598 yards, and only thrown 1 interception.
Hurts reportedly had to undergo an hour-long treatment on his injured knee following the Commanders game, according to Philadelphia Inquirer’s Mike Sielski.
In a previous media session, Hurts made it clear that he didn’t want to discuss his knee injury: “I told you guys I really don’t wanna speak on it anymore.”
The Eagles take on the Cowboys on Week 9, in what should be a big NFC East showdown.
