The Philadelphia Eagles field marshal, Jalen Hurts, finished the regular season with 630 yards by land. The ability to run the Hurts is a key part of the Eagles offensive, but it is not clear how threat their legs will be in the NFC championship game this weekend.
Hurts seemed to adjust his knee during the playoff game of the division round last week when he was uncomfortable to the ground when he was fired by a defender of Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles signal entered the Blue Medical Store after the Eagles hit the ball, but returned to the group in the posterior offensive possession of Philadelphia.
Although Hurts did not miss a play in the 28-22 victory over the Rams, its movement seemed to be limited by the rest of the game.
The Eagles will meet with the commanders in the game of the conference title on Sunday, and the defensive coordinator of Washington, Joe Whitt Jr., said that the possible limitations of Hurts will not prevent their unit from playing an attack style.

The Eagles offensive scheme generally requires some designed field marshal executes a game. If Hurts extends from the pocket at any time this Sunday, Whitt plans to make the two pro Bowl quarterback out.

“We have had several of these guys for which we have had to prepare,” Whitt told journalists on Thursday. “The only thing is that if the ball is going to run, and if the coordinator makes the decision that he runs the ball, we will treat him like a runner, and we will hit it with that form.
“So, that is your decision if you want them to be beaten in the way it is beaten. If they do not, they will keep it in your pocket. So, that is what we are going to do.”

Hurts ran for 39 yards and a touchdown when the Eagles met the commanders in week 11. When the divisional enemies of the NFC East met for the second time in the regular season, Hurts went with a head injury after A 13 -yard race. He did not return to the alignment, and the Eagles lost, 36-33.

“Each team will try to address Jalen as a corridor,” said Eagles chief coach Nick Sirianni. “He is running with football. They will try to address it. We are finally cautious with the way we use it and how we think about each play because we know how important it is to have it out there.
“I wouldn’t expect anything else. Jalen knows how to take care. We know how to help him do so well in regards to the scheme.”
Hurts practiced Wednesday, although it was included as a limited participant. The Eagles are favored to win the NFC title game. If the commanders get the discomfort, Jayden Daniels would be the first rookie field marshal in the story to start at the Super Bowl.
