First game on Sunday in the NFC is midway through the afternoon. It is the Green Bay Packers and
00:06
the Philadelphia Eagles at the lake in Philly. Four and a half points spread in favor of the
00:13
Eagles, which actually, although it's only four and a half, is the largest number of any of our
00:19
three games in the NFC during Super Wild Card weekend. Let's start with the quarterbacks. We
00:25
know that Jordan Love is good to go, obviously exited the regular season finale against Chicago
00:30
with a right elbow injury. Jalen Hurts, however, who got injured in week 16, way back in the third
00:38
to last game of the regular season, exiting the game in the opening half with a concussion as of
00:43
last check, remains in the concussion protocol. Today is a big day because it officially opens
00:50
up the full practice week as they get ready for a Sunday contest. So the first big question,
00:56
DRS, for the Birds and the Pack, what is the concern level for Jalen Hurts' concussion?
01:03
Zero. When you understand how the concussion protocol actually works and the final stage
01:08
to be cleared, Ben, which means it's just for you to practice. We weren't going to practice last
01:13
week for Jalen Hurts at all because he was never going to play in that game. So then you see the
01:17
weekend comes out on a Monday and the head coach, Nick Ceran, is saying, I can't update. He's still
01:21
in concussion protocol. The final hurdle before you're able to talk to the quarterback and admit
01:25
it is once he practices, which is going to take place today. Also, if you do read the tea leaves
01:30
as coaches in the NFL, boy, they love to give other teams something to think about because if
01:34
one thing happens, he asked Kelly Moore yesterday, also the offensive coordinator, how do you feel
01:38
about preparing three quarterbacks? Yeah, it's fine. No big deal. Not one there. And then end
01:41
the story at that point. And then Ian Book gets released later in the day, who is the Eagles'
01:45
fourth quarterback, which on game day, Ben, you have three active quarterbacks with one that's
01:49
going to be the emergency. If Book is gone, do the math. Jalen Hurts is going to be available
01:54
for Sunday afternoon's game for the Philadelphia Eagles, which last week I got a little bit
01:57
nervous until I understood what was actually taking place is you can't clear concussion
02:02
protocol if you don't practice. The Eagles weren't going to let him practice last week and no
02:06
practices yet this week. So therefore, he hasn't cleared it despite being in the building and
02:10
getting his work done and being in meetings and all that good stuff at this point. So me worrying
02:14
about Jalen Hurts playing this weekend, it's at a zero.
