Will Jalen Hurts play against the Dallas Cowboys tonight? Latest injury update on the popular Philadelphia Eagles quarterback

Week 1 of the NFL season kicks off with a heavyweight rivalry. The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their Super Bowl title, host the Dallas Cowboys under the lights on Thursday night. The Eagles have their core intact and a quarterback who’s already added a Super Bowl MVP to his résumé. But fans are asking the question that matters most: Will Jalen Hurts be on the field to start the season?Yes, Hurts will start for the Eagles in tonight’s opener. The quarterback was a full participant in practice this week and did not appear on Philadelphia’s final injury report. Hurts enters his sixth season healthier than he has in years and with momentum after last season’s championship run.The Eagles’ game status report (Tuesday) listed only backup quarterback Tanner McKee as out with a thumb injury. Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson and defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who had minor knocks earlier this week, were cleared for full participation. That leaves Hurts in position to take the first snap against Dallas with no restrictions.The Cowboys, meanwhile, will have cornerback Trevon Diggs and rookie left tackle Tyler Guyton available after both logged full practices. That sets the stage for Hurts to test a defense that no longer has Micah Parsons up front.Fans don’t need to miss a moment of this rivalry clash. The game is set for Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field.Hurts has built a résumé that already includes two Super Bowl appearances and one MVP award, but teammates say his growth hasn’t stopped. Offensive leaders like Saquon Barkley and Jordan Mailata have noticed a sharper, more confident version of their quarterback since February’s title win.Hurts hasn’t hidden his motivation. He still keeps a photo of himself walking off the field after Philadelphia’s Super Bowl 57 loss as the wallpaper on his phone. He also admitted he never wore his Super Bowl 59 ring over the summer, telling reporters he was focused on the new season.Head coach Nick Sirianni dismissed criticism that Hurts is carried by the talent around him. “What I admire about him is his selflessness of doing anything we need to do to win,” Sirianni said. That adaptability will be tested against a Dallas defense now under new coordinator Matt Eberflus.
