Nick Sirianni then verified as much in his twelve noon interview. Here’s a wrap-up of all the Hurts-related concerns he dealt with.

This is why you go through the procedure of practicing and all the important things that you do at practice to get on the very same page and do whatever there. We seem like we practice at a really high strength level. This is why you head out there and do those things.”
Q: Has the 2 weeks off likewise offered his damaged finger an opportunity to recover?
“Yeah, he’s continuing to improve.”
Q: This time away, have you provided him any type of job to anticipate with a future challenger?

The guess here is that Hurts will formally be noted under “restricted involvement.” This is not any cause to be worried; him being restricted is an anticipated action in clearing the concussion procedure. Presuming no obstacles, Hurts will likely be updated to “complete involvement” on Thursday.
We’ll see for sure when the Eagles release their practice report later on today.
