Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts left Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders after being evaluated for a concussion following a hit to the head during a run. Hurts, who had rushed for 41 yards on three carries, was initially reluctant to leave the field but was taken off by officials after being spotted by concussion spotters. He entered the medical tent before heading to the locker room. Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett replaced Hurts, completing three passes to A.J. Brown, including a 4-yard touchdown, to give the Eagles a 14-0 lead. The Eagles later confirmed that Hurts was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a concussion.
