Hurts will see his first game action in nearly a month and it’ll be a huge Tuesday night matchup against an embattled Washington defense. Hurts will look to re-establish his presence as the leader of Philadelphia’s offense.
New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (8) cannot complete a pass with pressure from Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (2) in the second half. The Eagles defeat the Jets, 33-18, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021, in East Rutherford.

Slay is having one of the most consistent seasons of his career and he’s headed for a Pro Bowl appearance this season. He can solidify this season by locking down Terry McLaurin.
