Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' absence following concussion in last week’s narrow loss to the Washington Commanders has become a point of discussion ahead of their clash against the Dallas Cowboys.
Although the Eagles have already secured a postseason berth, their division title hopes rest on this weekend’s clash.
Amid this critical situation, three-time Super Bowl champion and Fox Sports analyst Mark Schlereth weighed in. Praising Hurts’ dual-threat abilities and comparing him to Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson, he called Jalen "one of those very valuable assets."
"Like what Lamar does for the running game in Baltimore—he's so good at essentially, you know, faking and having that threat as a runner that nobody on the defensive side of the ball constricts," Schlereth said. "So you're really creating opportunities for cutbacks, for your running back to hit wide-open holes and get to the second level."
