Jalen Hurts will start against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game despite a knee injury. Hurts, who has shown improvement, anticipates wearing a knee brace to provide extra support.

The severity of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ left knee injury is a major concern heading into Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at home against the Washington Commanders. Hurts, who practiced every day this week, told reporters on Friday that his knee is getting better, but he still plans on wearing a brace against the Commanders.

Jalen Hurts was in a joking mood after the Eagles beat the Commanders convincingly in the NFC Championship game.

For a second time in three years, the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl bound. Forced turnovers during Sunday's 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders are a big reason why.  The Eagles parlayed four Commanders takeaways and one turnover on downs into 35 points.

Hurts had his best game of the season while newcomers Saquon Barkley, Zack Baun, and Quinyon Mitchell delivered to earn their first trips to the Super Bowl.

James Jones did not appreciate Jalen Hurts' post-game remark about Nick Sirianni after winning the NFC Championship Game. On Sunday, the Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl with a 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders.
