Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts left the game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday in the first quarter and was being evaluated for a concussion before being ruled out.

Hurts was injured by a tackle from Washington's Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner at the end of an 11-yard run to the Washington 21. He briefly appeared about to return but was taken to the locker room. He was later ruled out for the rest of the game.

Back-up Kenny Pickett came on and completed the drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown.

The Eagles (12-2) are in pursuit of the top seed in the NFC, alongside the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, who are likewise 12-2. The Commanders (9-5) are in contention for an NFC wild-card berth.
