Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-david-njoku-dorian-thompson-robinson-injuries">Browns had a pair of offensive weapons</a> get hurt. Here’s an overall look at the Week 16 injury roundup, including Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and more.</p><p>We will start things off with the Eagles star quarterback.</p><h2><b>Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Philadelphia-Eagles-QB-Jalen-Hurts.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hurts suffered a concussion after a scramble early in the Eagles’ Week 16 loss to the Commanders. He took off on a quarterback draw in the first quarter before he was brought to the ground by Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner. As Hurts was being tackled, linebacker Frankie Luvu put a hit on Hurts. That made Hurts hit the ground with his head.</p><p>Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, which means he has to go through a five-step process before returning to the field. Eagles head coach said the process is <a href="https://www.delawareonline.com/story/sports/nfl/eagles/2024/12/23/jalen-hurts-concussion-update-kenny-pickett-rib-injury-philadelphia-eagles-news/77164637007/" rel="noopener">up to the league</a>, according to delawareonline.com.</p><p>“Anything that has anything to do with the head is out of our hands,” Sirianni said after the game.</p><h2><b>Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen</b></h2><p>The MVP candidate suffered a right elbow contusion in the fourth quarter against the Patriots but didn’t miss game action. Allen told reporters after the game that he briefly lost some feeling in his hand, but it quickly returned. Bills head coach Sean McDermott <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czytvJS1dLk" rel="noopener">expressed some concern</a>, according to a post on YouTube by WGRZ-TV via essentiallysports.com.</p><p>“I touched base with Josh back there, just put eyes on him, and they were going through the test,” McDermott said. “They cleared him to go back and play. Our medical staff does a great job with it, if it’s not safe for a player, they’re not gonna put him back out there. So I trust them, and they gave the green light to go back out there.”</p><h2><b>Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner</b></h2><p>Conner (knee) did not return against the Panthers after exiting in the second half. Conner <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1871218514775687624" rel="noopener">could miss the final two games</a> of the season, according to a post on X by Ian Rapoport.</p><p>“Generally, in situations like this, players have played their last downs for their team,” Rapoport said.</p><h2><b>Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London</b></h2><p>London (hamstring) did not return against the Giants after exiting in the fourth quarter. However, head coach Raheem Morris said the injury <a href="https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/2024/12/22/falcons-drake-london-injury-update-latest/" rel="noopener">isn’t believed serious</a>, according to thefalconswire.com.</p><p>“I believe he could have gone back in,” Morris said. “I look forward to him being able to practice next week.”</p><h2><b>Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert</b></h2><p>Tolbert <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/jalen-tolbert-injury-update-cowboys-wr-suffered-dislocated-finger-vs-bucs/" rel="noopener">suffered a dislocated finger</a>, according to Melissa Stark, on the Sunday Night Football broadcast via on3.com.</p><p>“We saw Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert get injured at the end of the first half,” Stark said. “He left the field, shaking his hand as he went into the locker room. He was late coming out; he was getting X-rays on his finger. When he came out of the locker room, he had his ring and his pinky finger taped on his left hand. He is questionable to return with a dislocated finger.”</p><h2><b>New York Jets CB Sauce Gardner</b></h2><p>A hamstring injury sent Gardner to the sidelines in the game against the Rams, and he did not return.</p><h2><b>Philadelphia Eagles DE Josh Sweat</b></h2><p>A key member of the defense, Sweat, suffered an ankle injury against the Commanders and did not return to the game.</p><h2><b>Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens</b></h2><p>Pickens (hamstring) has <a href="https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2024/12/22/steelers-george-pickens-nfl-mike-tomlin-injury/" rel="noopener">a “real chance”</a> at playing against the Chiefs on Christmas Day, according to a comment by Mike Tomlin to steelerswire.com. Pickens has missed three games with the injury.</p><h2><b>San Francisco 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw</b></h2><p>After suffering a calf injury in the first quarter against the Dolphins, Greenlaw did not return. Teammate Fred Warner said the 49ers <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/fred-warner-says-the-49ers-have-to-protect-dre-greenlaw-from-himself-01jfszdjezdf" rel="noopener">need to be careful</a> with Greenlaw, according to Sports Illustrated.</p><p>“That’s my guy,” Warner said. “I love going out there to battle with him, but at the end of the day, it’s about saving Dre from himself sometimes, too. He’s coming back from a major injury. Everybody looks at the last game and how great he was, but that’s not normal, he’s dealing with something significant, so we have to protect him from himself sometimes. “Dre is built the right way; he wants to be out there, he wants to help us win games. That’s my brother at the end of the day. Like I said, we have to hold him back from hurting himself more.”</p><h2><b>Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III</b></h2><p>The team hasn’t provided information about the severity of Walker’s injured ankle. Head coach Mike Macdonald said tests <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/seahawks-hc-mike-macdonald-offers-023752298.html" rel="noopener">need to be completed</a>, according to yahoo.com.</p><h2><b>Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard</b></h2><p>A hamstring sent Shepard to the sidelines, and he didn’t return against the Cowboys.</p><h2><b>Washington Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore</b></h2><p>After appearing in only a pair of games, Lattimore (hamstring) got hurt against the Eagles. His status is up in the air.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-unsung-jalen-hurts-assistant-gets-well-deserved-praise">Jalen Hurts</a> was forced off the field after he suffered an apparent head injury on their second drive, forcing Kenny Pickett into action in his stead.</p><p>Hurts hit his head on the ground after being tackled to the ground at the end of a run, and while he got back up, he was sent to the blue tent by the referees. Hurts appeared set to check back in shortly after, but he instead ended up being sent to the locker room, where it was eventually announced that he had been <a href="https://x.com/Eagles/status/1870907757328830612" rel="noopener">ruled out for the game due to a concussion</a>.</p><p>“Injury Update: QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) is out,” the Philadelphia Eagles official account posted on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Kenny Pickett immediately leads Eagles to touchdown with Jalen Hurts out</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Eagles-quarterback-Jalen-Hurts-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With Hurts out, the Eagles backup quarterback in Pickett was forced into the action, and he immediately made his impact felt. Pickett would quickly link up with A.J. Brown for a <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1870898981896946171" rel="noopener">four-yard touchdown pass</a>, proving right away that the team was in good hands with Hurts now out for the rest of this game.</p><p>The good times were short lived, as Pickett responded by throwing an interception on the ensuing drive, with the Commanders proceeding to score their first touchdown of the game. That lead would quickly be built back up to 14 points when Saquon Barkley ripped off a 68-yard run to give Philly a 21-7 lead.</p><p>The Eagles have managed to remain proficient without Hurts on the field, and a win would wrap up the NFC East for them, while keeping them on the Detroit Lions heels in their quest to win the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Pickett has done well to hold down the fort so far, and if the offense can keep pace, Philly will be in a great spot to pick up their 13th win of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Not only did <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-unsung-jalen-hurts-assistant-gets-well-deserved-praise">Hurts put together a strong performance</a> on the field, but he also turned some heads with his flashy cleats. Unfortunately, the NFL wasn’t too fond of them, and it resulted in him picking up a fine as a result.</p><p>Hurts wore a pair of green cleats that did not match, with one being a darker shade of green that matches the Eagles typical green uniforms, and the other being a lighter shade of green that matched their throwback Kelly Green uniforms. While the move drew some praise from fans, the NFL ended up handing Hurts a <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1870099693667066342" rel="noopener">$5,628 fine for violating the league’s uniform rules</a>.</p><p>“Two shoes, one fine: The NFL docked Eagles QB Jalen Hurts $5,628 for violating the league’s uniform and equipment rules in Sunday’s win over Pittsburgh, per source. Officially, Hurts’ fine was for wearing a shoe color that’s not one of the Eagles’ ‘Constitutional team colors.'”</p><p>“The rulebook says: ‘A player may wear shoes that are black, white, or any Constitutional team color, or any combination of black, white, and a Constitutional team color.’ Hurts said the shoes he was supposed to wear didn’t come in. Will he use this look again? ‘We’ll see,’ Tom Pelissero of NFL Network shared in a pair of posts on X, formerly Twitter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The rulebook says: “A player may wear shoes that are black, white, or any Constitutional team color, or any combination of black, white, and a Constitutional team color.”</p><p>Hurts said the shoes he was supposed to wear didn’t come in.

He caught too much attention apparently, and while he remained coy on whether he’d accept another fine in the future to sport this look, chances are he doesn’t want to keep on losing over $5,000 for a simple footwear decision.</p><p>The main thing that Hurts will be concerned about is whether or not the Eagles are winning, and they managed to do just that in Week 15. They will look to continue their winning ways in Week 16 when they take on the Washington Commanders, and all eyes will be on Hurts to see what cleats he decides to wear for this big game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But when it’s<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-agent-aj-brown-beef-steelers-win" rel="noopener"> time for Hurts to air it out</a>, he’s been doing so at a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm" rel="noopener">career-best efficiency</a> and with a career-high yards per attempt to boot.</p><p>But how has the fifth-year signal-caller improved his efficiency despite throwing the ball less often? Well, part of it could be the addition of new quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier, who Nick Sirianni <a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/nick-sirianni-12-18-24/" rel="noopener">took some time to praise</a> on Wednesday during his media session.</p><p>“I think he’s an outstanding coach who played the position at a very high level in the NFL and in big time college football. [Quarterbacks Coach] Doug [Nussmeier] has been a great coach for a long time, too, in college and in professional football. Coached a lot of good players. Has been a coordinator,” Sirianni told reporters.</p><p>“I just think he’s done a really nice job of coaching [QB] Jalen [Hurts] and coaching the other guys. I think he’s fit in really well with our staff. Obviously, he and [Offensive Coordinator] Kellen [Moore] have a prior relationship. Really pumped that he’s on our staff because I think he’s a heck of a football coach, heck of a person, and he’s doing a great job.”</p><p>After largely working with his family friend Brian Johnson through his initial run as the Eagles’ starting quarterback, first as a quarterbacks coach and then as an offensive coordinator, getting some fresh blood has done wonders for Hurts in 2024. If he can match his efforts from Week 15 into the future, no one will be able to say that passing is the Eagles’ weak spot ever again.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jalen-Hurts-throwing-for-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Kellen Moore is a huge fan of the Eagles’ offensive coordinator, too</b></h2><p>Speaking of Moore, he, too, complemented Nussmeier for being a great support coach, noting that they have worked together at each spot of his NFL journey, and the relationship has <a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/kellen-moore-12-17-24/" rel="noopener">remained impeccable through the journey</a>.</p><p>“I’ve been fortunate to be around [Quarterbacks Coach] Doug [Nussmeier], going back to Dallas and L.A. and now here. Worked with him in the quarterback room for a long time. I think what makes [Quarterbacks Coach Doug Nussmeier] Nuss is his experience. He’s been a longtime coordinator in college football at a lot of big-time schools and had a ton of experience there,” Moore told reporters.</p><p>“I think he does an excellent job with the details and fundamentals of the position. Hammering that in each and every day, each and every week. Tying the QBs footwork to the pass concepts and making sure we all have the right timing, the anticipation, all that sort of stuff. He does an excellent job preparing those guys.”</p><p>Originally coming to prominence as a very good college quarterback at Boise State, Moore knows a thing or two about what it takes to play the position at a high level. If he trusts Nussmeier to shepherd Hurts through the process of working within his offense, the Eagles really lucked out that they could secure his services and add him to the organization.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That feeling, however, doesn’t extend to the team’s franchise quarterback, as, after being named Brady’s player of the game in Week 15, Hurts gushed about their relationship after the game, noting that he was excited to be <a href="https://www.themirror.com/sport/american-football/tom-brady-jalen-hurts-eagles-861177" rel="noopener">appreciated by such a legend.</a></p><p>“You beat me a couple of times and now you’re giving me trophies, that’s how you do this now huh?  You know how it is playing the quarterback position, it’s all about getting into a rhythm,” Hurts said via The Mirror. “For all 11 to be on the same page when we go out there and execute… I don’t think we’ve found a good rhythm this year, but we have especially in these last few weeks. Good teams are able to win in multiple ways, and I think we’re showing that this year.”</p><p>Will fans forgive Hurts for his comments? You know what, if he plays like he did in Week 15, it’s safe to assume he will be just fine.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AJ-Brown-and-Jalen-Hurts-celebrating-their-touchdown.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Jalen Hurts shouts out his pre-Eagles idols for inspiring his game</b></h2><p>Asked about his experience with Brady after the game, Hurts celebrated the former Buccaneers quarterback,<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-gushing-about-russell-wilson-after-beating-him"> inspiring him alongside Russell Wilson</a>, as he hopes to inspire the next generation of quarterbacks after him.</p><p>“Yeah, you all saw what I said. But he’s obviously a great player, won. Tons of respect for him, competing against him even. It was cool. I didn’t know he was doing the game, so that was kind of cool. On the same note, someone asked me a couple of weeks ago about head-to-head matchups, I think it was versus [Ravens QB] Lamar [Jackson]. And I think that’s something you reflect on later on. In the moment, you keep it as – it’s not like basketball. Try to keep it as team, team, team. It’s just always about the team. And you look back at that and reflect, you take a step back,” Hurts told reporters.</p><p>“You see a ton of kids out there watching Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson go at it, and that’s what they see. All eyes on them. I think for today, even all week, [Steelers QB] Russell Wilson, man, he’s paved the way for a ton of guys, including myself. My brother loved him. I loved him and still love him. Watched him do many things where people said he couldn’t, and he’s experienced some adversity. And he’s overcome that, and he’s come back stronger from it.”</p><p>Is there a whole generation of quarterbacks who will model their games after Hurts just like he did with Wilson? Only time will tell, but as one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league leading one of the best teams in the NFL, it’s safe to assume that that fate is very much in his future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
