The Philadelphia Eagles took care of business on Sunday Night Football, beating the Miami Dolphins 31-17.
While this was an imperative victory for the Eagles, it came with a cost for one of their top players.
Jalen Hurts entered the second half of the game with a knee brace, which appeared to be bothering him heading into halftime.
When asked about his brace in a postgame press conference shared via Mike Garafolo, Hurts said that he feels “fine,” adding that he hopes this will not affect him in the coming weeks.

While his season has looked slightly different than his 2022 performance, Hurts is the Eagles’ QB1 for a reason.
He has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL over the past two seasons for his abilities as a rusher and passer.
Hurts is the orchestrator of the infamous “tush push,” which allowed the Eagles to get several first downs in this game along with a rushing touchdown.
He has been the mastermind behind this offense, a team that has taken the NFL by storm.
With this win over the Dolphins, the Eagles moved to 6-1, keeping them atop the NFC.
While the San Francisco 49ers have not played their Week 7 game yet, they are likely to move to 6-1 as well.
From this moment forward, every game is imperative for the Eagles to keep their standing within the conference.
If Hurts is unable to play for any amount of time, the Eagles will have an extreme disadvantage by missing their newly-extended star QB.
