Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders after falling asleep after apparently hitting his head on the ground in the first quarter.
Hurts was scrambling on second-and-20 when he was hit Washington quarterback Frankie Luvu at the end of his 13-yard run. The contact forced Hurts’ head to bounce to the ground.
