The Philadelphia Eagles got some good news as they prepare for their first-round playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

According to head coach Nick Sirianni, quarterback Jalen Hurts has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and is ready to play, via NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Hurts has not played since Week 16 and is likely itching to get back onto the field.

The problem is that his first game action in almost a month will take place with the season on the line.

Though the Eagles did defeat the Packers in their first game of the season in Brazil, it was a close contest and Hurts did not play his best.

He completed 58.8 percent of his passes, threw two interceptions and posted what ended up being his second-worst passer rating of the season (80.3).

The Eagles were able to eke out a 34-29 win but could’ve easily lost.

They now must face Green Bay again, and this Packers team is arguably better than it was last season and in the first week of this season.

Hurts is going to have to be ready for anything and everything facing this stingy Green Bay defense.

The Packers are among the youngest teams in the league and are explosive on both sides of the ball.

So, all of the pressure is on the side of Hurts and the Eagles because they are an experienced team that found a way to win 14 games and earn the second seed in the NFC.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

(Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images)   The Green Bay Packers needed all hands on deck on Sunday. With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
