Jalen Hurts (knee) to be monitored throughout week
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Jalen Hurts‘ knee injury will be monitored throughout the week.
Fantasy Impact
“We’ll have more information for you,” Sirianni said on both Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell. “Obviously still going through the process of the day here. I know those guys will do everything they can to do be at the top part of their game on Sunday. I’m confident in our training staff and I’m confident in those guys. We’ll see how that goes as this week goes on.” There is nothing to suggest either of their statuses are in doubt for the NFC Championship on Sunday.

Tank Dell: ‘too early’ to establish a timeline for the WR
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell, who is recovering from a brutal knee injury, has no timeline yet, per head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Fantasy Impact
“We’ll continue to assess Tank and see where he ends up. It’s too early right now to put a timeline on it,” Ryans said on Dell. The second-year WR could be at risk of missing his third season in the NFL due to his injury, which included ligament damage in addition to a dislocation. The long road to recovery starts now, but until we know more about his status, it can be assumed he will miss the opener in 2025 and anything else is up in the air.
