Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts left Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion.
Hurts was slow to get up after a 13-yard run and officials had him exit the game. He went into the medical tent and came out a few plays later before heading to the locker room.
Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett entered the game, finishing off the drive with a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown to put Philadelphia up 14-0.
