The Philadelphia Eagles entered Week 16 of the NFL season with a chance to lock up the NFC East with a win over the Washington Commanders. However, Washington’s dramatic 36-33 win — led by five touchdown passes from Jayden Daniels — kept the Commanders alive in the NFC East title race.

Eagles fans had their holiday season somewhat spoiled when Jalen Hurts exited Philadelphia's Week 16 showdown against the Commanders early after suffering a head injury. With Hurts out, the Commanders rallied to pull off an upset that hindered Philadelphia's chances at obtaining the NFC's top playoff seed.

On Friday, head coach Nick Sirianni provided an update on his team’s signal caller, and implied that it was looking like he’d be out for at least another week. " [Hurts] is still in the protocol. It's going to be tough for him to make it this week," Sirianni told reporters.
