Jalen Hurts furious after delayed medical return leads to Eagles interception
Jalen Hurts displayed some rare emotion after a delay in his concussion protocol caused his absence on the field for a key Eagles play.
In a key moment during Monday Night Football, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a hard hit that forced him to exit the game. The incident occurred when Hurts was hit by Chicago Bears linebacker D Marco Jackson while running out of bounds. Hurts appeared to be staying in the game before being pulled by concussion spotters.
While he was in the medical tent, backup quarterback Andy Dalton came in to replace Hurts. Unfortunately, Dalton threw an interception in the end zone during Hurts' absence, denying the Eagles a potential touchdown opportunity. Hurts, upon exiting the medical tent, was visibly upset, yelling and firing up. ESPN's broadcast revealed that the delay in Hurts' medical return was longer than anticipated, which explains why he did not return for the Eagles before Dalton's interception.
Despite the setback, Hurts returned to the field for the next drive, leading the team to a touchdown before halftime.
