Eagles' Hurts trending toward return vs. Giants

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni announced quarterback Jalen Hurts is trending toward starting Sunday against the New York Giants, according to NFL Network's James Palmer.

He's listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup.

The 24-year-old missed the last two games after sustaining a shoulder injury in a Week 15 win over the Chicago Bears.

Gardner Minshew has played in Hurts' place, completing 42 of 72 pass attempts for 629 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. The Eagles went 0-2.

One of those losses was to the division rival Dallas Cowboys, who enter Week 18 as one of three clubs that can finish with the NFC's No. 1 seed. The Eagles (13-3) will earn the top spot with a victory. The Cowboys (12-4) and San Francisco 49ers (12-4) both have a chance at the bye but will need to win and get some help from other results.
