Jalen Hurts injury update as Eagles QB leaves game after big hit vs Bears
Latest updates after Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was forced to leave the Week 3 "Monday Night Football" game vs Bears following a big hit out of bounds.
Two weeks into the NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears square off in Week 3 action on Monday Night Football. The Eagles, currently 2-0 following victories over the Commanders and Titans, are looking to build on their success as they face the Bears, who are 1-1 entering the matchup. However, the Bears may be at a disadvantage without their starting quarterback, Caleb Williams, who is out with a hamstring injury. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, returning from a concussion, will take the field in his place.
The Eagles' offense has struggled to get things right early in the game. An errant short-armed throw from Jalen Hurts to Saquon Barkley resulted in a loss, while an unnecessary holding penalty by Tyler Steen erased a promising run by Barkley. Tank Bigsby also fumbled on a second-and-20 checkdown, handing the Bears possession right at Philadelphia's 15-yard line. While Sean Mannion's play-calling has shown promise so far, his players need to step up their execution to secure the victory.
The Bears, under the guidance of head coach Ben Johnson, showed their offensive prowess with a masterful 11-play, 66-yard touchdown drive. Despite the Eagles' defense standing strong and a Quinyon Mitchell interception nullifying a crucial fourth-down attempt, the Bears managed to capitalize on the Eagles' mistakes. This matchup promises to be a test of execution for both teams as they look to secure crucial wins in their respective divisions.
