Sounds like Jalen Hurts is trending towards potentially playing tomorrow night.
Not that you should ever need added motivation to show up in an extremely important football game, but his potential availability should fire up our defense. All we heard since that Week 17 game was how Philly gifted us the game by removing Hurts. Our guys should be amped up to prove it with Hurts on the field for 4 quarters and put that nonsense to bed.
Guess that would take away form the home team having old crappy benches (which is the excuse Dallas used last week) for the visiting team in the cold weather.
As Chris said the team has til 4pm to ACTIVATE the player. That means they take a roster spot. The tricky thing is I don't know if they need to 'clear' protocols to be activated. I wonder if we could activate one of these guys in the hopes that they clear prior to game time... I don't know the exact parameters.
I've seen that 'travel arrangements are availalble'.... meaning there's a private jet on stand by... in the event that Allen or Heinicke clear. They're likely sitting at the facility awaiting results since they did not travel with the team. It's a 25 min flight from Dulles to Philly so it could come all the way down to the wire.
I imagine this jet doesnt take off til they are 100% that Heinicke and / or Allen are not going to be eligible.
