Officially, Jalen Hurts remains in the concussion protocol five days before the Eagles host the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card round game. But the tea leaves seem to be trending in a positive direction for the Eagles more than two weeks after Hurts suffered a concussion early in the first quarter of the team’s Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders.

The Green Bay Packers (11-6) pulled off a wild-card upset as the No. 7 seed last year. Can they do it again against the No. 2-seed Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) on Sunday?

The Eagles have been quiet about quarterback Jalen Hurts’s availability, but the most significant indicator of his readiness could be the departure of a recent signee. With preparation for the NFC Wild Card game against the Packers looming, Philadelphia waived signal-caller Ian Book.
