His impact on the Eagles is undeniable, especially following a period of mixed performances and rumors regarding tension between him and star receiver A.J. Brown. The latest game served as a powerful reminder of Hurts’ ability to lead a dynamic offense. As the Eagles push forward, fans are hopeful that Hurts can manage his injury effectively and continue to elevate the team’s performance during this critical time in the season.
