Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is back at practice and expected to play in the NFC wild-card game Sunday against the Packers.

Philadelphia (14-3) hosts Green Bay (11-6) in the second meeting between the teams this season. The Eagles beat the Packers 34-29 in Brazil on Sept. 6 in the regular-season opener for both teams.

The Eagles used backup quarterbacks Tanner McKee and Kenny Pickett the past two games with Hurts sidelined by a concussion since Dec. 22.

Hurts, 26, had 18 touchdown passes and 14 rushing touchdowns during the regular season.

Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore said Tuesday he has been in close contact with Hurts regarding the game plan. Hurts tossed two TD passes and two interceptions in Week 1 against the Packers.
