Will Jalen Hurts’ injury impact his Super Bowl LIX game against the Kansas City Chiefs? The Philadelphia Eagles have reached the final stage of the league, marking their second Super Bowl in three seasons. However, the injuries could take a huge toll, swinging their chances in the New Orleans’s battle.

Ahead of the Sunday, February 9 showdown, the franchise released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. According to it, Jalen Carter (Illness), Kenny Gainwell (Concussion/Knee), Brandon Graham (Elbow), and Devonta Smith (Hamstring), were all limited participants on the day. However, Zack Baun (Groin), Britain Covey (Neck), Landon Dickerson (Knee), Dallas Goedert (Ankle), Cam Jurgens (Back), and C.J. Uzomah (Abdomen), fully participated in the practice. But what about the Eagles’s QB, Jalen Hurts, who has had a series of injuries in his NFL career?

A recap of Jalen Hurts’s injury history!

The Eagles’ QB, unfortunately, has had quite a lot of run-uns with the injury bug.

2021 – Jalen Hurts faced a “sore” ankle in a game against the Giants. He was questionable to return the next week. The Eagles’s next game was with the Jets, and due to the QB’s injury, then-backup Gardner Minshew II replaced him for that matchup.

2022 – Played through the Week 15 game and led his team to a victory against the Bears. However, Hurts’s shoulder injury refrain him from playing his next two games. He was listed out on the injury list in Week 16 and doubtful in Week 17. Despite being questionable in Week 18, Hurts returned to play against the Giants and won.

2023 – Jalen Hurts was named on the injured reserve list for Week 15 game due to illness. However, he returned without missing any games.

2024 – In the week 16 game against the Commanders, Hurts sustained a concussion in the first quarter. This grade 1 injury led him to miss the next two games in the season.

2024 – He dislocated his middle finger of his throwing hand during a play against the Giants in Week 18. Although he didn’t miss any game due to it, he just sat out for the second half. That game was won by Philly.

2025 – The QB was sacked in the third quarter, which left him hopping on the field towards the medical tent. However, he didn’t miss any snap of the divisional round game, as he returned wearing a knee brace. His status was questionable too in the NFC battle against the Commanders, but he did return to lead his team to win the title.

So, now the question is: Will this knee problem continue for Jalen Hurts in the Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs?

What’s the update on Jalen Hurts’s injury?

As we already informed you, the Eagles have released their first injury report on Wednesday. And as per the list, one notable player absent was Jalen Hurts. So, this reportedly means that the knee is no longer a hindrance to Hurts, as he is marching towards the Super Bowl in his full-strength.

So, all in all, Jalen Hurts is looking healthy at just the right time. Despite suffering a knee injury in the divisional-round win over the Rams, he pushed through, wearing a brace to finish the game. In addition, leading up to the NFC Championship, he started the week with limited practice but was back to full participation by Thursday and Friday. And in the game, he began the matchup against the Commanders with the brace but ditched it in the first half.

No doubt, Jalen Hurts is looking sharp, rushing 10 times the most since Week 15 – and throwing for 246 yards and a touchdown. Now, with the Super Bowl approaching, his knee doesn’t seem to be an issue. The Eagles’s faithful are expecting the same throughout the game in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9.
