Jalen Hurts looked off at times on Sunday after Philadelphia’s 31-15 loss to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, the Eagles quarterback was seen in a walking boot.
Hurts confirmed that he’s still dealing with the lower ankle injury that kept him sidelined for two games this season, and he hinted at possible offseason surgery while sitting at the podium.
Hurts was intercepted twice, had 88-yards in the first half, and was 16-of-32 passing through the first three-quarters of play.
The rough outing will lead some to again question whether the Eagles should go in a different direction at quarterback, but afterward, Sirianni said he feels good about what Hurts did this season.
“I feel really good with what we have in place here at the quarterback position. He had a great year. I’m really pleased with how he came along this year,” Sirianni said via his post-game presser.
Philadelphia will have three first-round picks in April’s draft and they’ll be the usual discussions by insiders about trading for Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers.
Let the most exciting offseason in franchise history begin.
