Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, was evaluated for a concussion during Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears but was subsequently cleared to return to the game. The incident occurred after a significant late hit in the second quarter, leading to a heated reaction from his coach.

Sirianni’s Heated Reaction to Jalen Hurts Concussion Scare

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was visibly and audibly furious following the hit on Hurts. Sirianni was captured on camera shouting at Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson, “You’re a py, you’re a py!” after Jackson’s late hit sent Hurts to the medical tent, as reported by MARCA. The hit, which occurred midway through the second quarter, forced Hurts off the field for evaluation.

Game Impact and Dalton’s Interception

The timing of Hurts’ exit could not have been worse for Philadelphia. The Eagles were trailing 7-0 and had just completed a 95-yard drive, setting up a first-and-goal situation at the Chicago 1-yard line. With Hurts in the medical tent, backup quarterback Andy Dalton took over. On third-and-goal from the 2-yard line, Dalton threw an interception in the end zone, effectively wiping out the potential scoring drive, according to RotoWire.

Hurts soon re-emerged from the blue tent and was reportedly seen on the sideline “yelling at the medical staff,” as noted by The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane on X.

Concussion Clearance and Betting Implications

The NFL’s New York offices reportedly called for Hurts to be evaluated for a possible concussion after the hit from D’Marco Jackson. He was sent to the medical tent for assessment. Following evaluation, ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed on X that “Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was evaluated for a concussion and cleared to return.” He subsequently returned to the field in the second quarter.

This clearance meant that eligible Jalen Hurts prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook would settle as normal. According to DraftKings Network, their “Early Exit” feature, which voids eligible full-game NFL player prop bets if a player leaves during the first half due to injury and does not return, did not apply in this instance because Hurts was cleared and returned to the game.
