Jalen Hurts enters the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs looking to avenge the Super Bowl loss two years ago. Hurts has been steady throughout the playoffs, balancing efficient passing with his elite rushing ability. He finished the regular season with 21 passing touchdowns and 18 rushing scores, making him one of the league's top dual-threat quarterbacks. Kansas City's defense has been stingy against quarterbacks, allowing just 24 passing touchdowns all season while forcing 13 interceptions. However, Hurts' ability to extend plays and find the end zone with his legs keeps his floor high. He has rushed for multiple touchdowns in four of his last 17 full games, and with the Eagles' offensive line protecting him, expect him to play a significant role in both the passing and rushing attack. Hurts is primed to deliver on the biggest stage.

Jalen Hurts shined in Sunday's NFC Championship victory over the Washington Commanders. Completing 20 of 28 passes (71.4%) for 246 yards and one passing touchdown, Hurts also added 10 carries for 16 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Hurts showcased his ability to lead a balanced offense, playing efficiently and making smart decisions throughout the game. His passing precision paired well with his signature "tush push" play, which proved unstoppable at the goal line. Hurts' leadership and dynamic playmaking helped the Eagles score a season-high 55 points. As Philadelphia prepares for the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, Hurts' versatility and postseason experience will be critical in securing the Eagles' second championship in franchise history.

Jalen Hurts (knee) is expected to wear a brace during the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Hurts twisted his knee during the second half of last week's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was able to play through the issue, but he was clearly limited because of the injury. The good news is, Hurts was able to practice in full on Thursday, so he should be cleared for this weekend. Hurts is going to be out there this weekend, but he might not be as mobile as everyone is used to seeing from him.

Jalen Hurts (knee) upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough. Hurts injured his left knee on Sunday in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Although he didn't miss a snap, he appeared to be severely limited in what he could do the rest of the game and looked to be limping around after the game. However, Hurts said he expected to be fine for the NFC Championship this Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders, and his ability to practice in full on Thursday backs up that sentiment. As long as he does not have a setback with his knee on Friday, he should be available to play this weekend as the Eagles look to get back to the Super Bowl. Hurts' ability to score goal-line touchdowns on the tush push makes him more attractive for fantasy lineups, but his mobility could be limited against Washington.
