Jalen Hurts forced to undergo concussion evaluation
The Eagles quarterback had to leave Monday night’s game after taking a late hit in the second quarter.
On Monday night, the Eagles found themselves in a promising scoring position in the second quarter against the Bears. Quarterback Jalen Hurts took a hit from D’Marco Jackson near the end of the quarter, causing him to fly out of bounds. Despite bouncing back and returning to the huddle, Hurts was quickly taken off the field and sent to undergo concussion testing in the medical tent.
The hit appeared to target his shoulder, but the forceful impact caused his head to rotate. After being escorted to the medical tent, it is hoped that Hurts will be fit to return to the game. However, the Eagles were unable to capitalize on their proximity to the end zone and faced two failed attempts. Quarterback Andy Dalton then attempted to pass to Dontayvion Wicks in the back of the endzone, but his attempt was intercepted, shifting the momentum of the game.
Additionally, the Eagles' run game managed to gain traction, moving the ball efficiently and disrupting the Bears' defense.
