Jalen Hurts suffers middle finger injury on his throwing hand during Week 18

Jalen Hurts busted the middle finger on his right hand during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 18 game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Sunday.

The Eagles were down 3-0 and had a 4th-and-3 at their 48 early in the second quarter. They decided to go for it, but Hurts’ pass for Dallas Goedert went incomplete.

On the play, Hurts suffered an injury to his right middle finger, which was bent awkwardly after some contact from Bobby Okereke.

Hurts remained at quarterback for Philly despite the injury, though the Eagles went 3-and-out on their next possession.

The Eagles entered their Week 18 game with four losses in their previous five contests. Hurts has battled an illness in recent weeks and now has a finger injury on his throwing hand to overcome.
