Diagnosed with shoulder sprain Hurts suffered a sprained right shoulder during Sunday's win over the Bears, and the quarterback's status for the Eagles' Week 16 game in Dallas is uncertain, Adam Schefter of ESPN... Impact According to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com, Hurts underwent X-rays after Sunday's contest that revealed the issue, and while multiple reports suggest the issue isn't a long-term one, the quarterback could be sidelined for one or two games, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The injury occurred late in the third quarter on a rushing attempt to the right side, but Hurts stayed in the game and proceeded to lead a scoring drive in the fourth quarter that he capped off with a one-yard touchdown run followed by a successful two-point conversion run. The Eagles are in good position at the top of the NFC standings, so they certainly can play it safe with the NFL MVP candidate, though we also imagine they would like to try and secure the important top seed in the NFC. If Hurts is ruled out for Saturday's road matchup with the Cowboys, Gardner Minshew would be in line to make his first start of the season.
