Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts was sidelined from Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders due to a concussion after apparently hitting his head on the ground in the first quarter.
Hurts was battling on 2nd-and-20 when he was attacked Washington linebacker Frankie Luvu at the end of his 13-yard run. The contact forced Hurts’ head to bounce off the ground.
