Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts quarterback his putting a sprained shoulder in Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bears availability in question for Week 16’s showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Joining WIP Tuesday morning, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed the QB’s injury, but he didn’t rule Hurts out this weekend and noted the club doesn’t believe it’s a long-term issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“He sprained his shoulder … he is attacking his rehab,” Sirianni said, via WIP’s Eliot Shorr-Parks<\/a>. “We’ll see what happens this week … not something we deem long-term.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hurts didn’t miss a snap in Sunday’s victory over Chicago, finishing out the game 22-of-37 passing for 315 yards and two INTs while rushing for three scores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An MVP candidate, Hurts has led the Eagles to a 13-1 record, but Philly’s main objective is a Super Bowl, and having the dual-threat quarterback as healthy as possible for that run is critical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sirianni not ruling out Hurts Tuesday morning isn’t much of a surprise. That can come later in the week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Eagles coach offered confidence that Gardner Minshew can step into the void against Dallas and keep Philly moving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“He’s ready to roll when his number is called. … If he has to go, we have 100% confidence in him. He can ball,” Sirianni said of Minshew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Eagles can clinch the NFC East and the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a victory Saturday over the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
