Jalen Hurts Upgraded to Full Participant in Practice, A.J. Brown’s Status Uncertain

There is some positive news on the injury front for the Eagles, as they prepare to play the Buccaneers on Monday night.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts (finger) was upgraded to a full participant in Friday’s practice after being limited on Thursday. Hurts mentioned yesterday that his finger is progressing well, and his increased level of participation in practice reflects that. According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Hurts took the majority of throws with the Eagles’ first-team offense on Friday.

However, receiver A.J. Brown’s status for Monday’s game remains uncertain as he continued to sit out of practice on Friday due to a knee injury. Safety Reed Blankenship (groin) and safety Sydney Brown (knee) also remained sidelined. Receiver Britain Covey (groin) was limited in practice.

On the brighter side, receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle), cornerback Darius Slay (knee), and running back D’Andre Swift (illness) were all full participants.
