Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts isn't letting the team's Super Bowl win last season affect his motivation to chase another ring.

He wasn’t able to practice against them and their No. 1 defense from 2024 because he suffered an oblique strain in early individual drills and was shut down for the rest of the day. He’s day to day and will sit out Thursday too, as well as probably the second preseason game here on Saturday afternoon.

Long after the double air horn sounded to signal the end of joint practice with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, Jalen Hurts remained on the field. The huddles had broken down. Players had consumed their cups of Rita’s water ice and headed back indoors.
