Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts (concussion) has been ruled out in Week 16 against the Commanders.

Hurts tried to re-enter the game after suffering a head injury in the first quarter but went through further testing and was determined to have a brain injury. Kenny Pickett has played well in Hurts’ place, completing five of seven attempts for 70 yard, a touchdown, and an interception. Hurts will have to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol if he’s going to be active next week against the Cowboys.
