Report: Hurts to return for regular-season finale vs. Giants

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the New York Giants after missing the last two games with a throwing shoulder injury, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Tim McManus.

The Eagles lost both games without Hurts but can still clinch the NFC's No. 1 seed with a win or a tie against the Giants. Philadelphia will also secure the first-round bye if the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Washington Commanders.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that Hurts was on track to return for the NFC East clash.

Hurts was a frontrunner for MVP before being injured. He has thrown for 22 touchdowns and 3,472 yards while adding 747 yards and 13 scores on the ground this season.

With New York locked into the No. 6 seed, coach Brian Daboll is opting to rest starting quarterback Daniel Jones against the Eagles. Davis Webb is reportedly expected to start after being elevated from the practice squad, while Tyrod Taylor will act as the backup.
