PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles issued their first practice report on Wednesday, ahead of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders.

The designations were an estimation because Philadelphia held a walkthrough and not a full practice.

All eyes were on Jalen Hurts after the quarterback injured his knee in the 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Hurts was listed as limited, but he spoke with reporters after the walkthrough and reiterated that he planned to play against the Commanders.  

"Yeah," was Hurts' one-word statement when asked if he's on track to play.            

"It’s been progressing," Hurts said. "Taking it a day at a time. Was able to participate today and
be involved in stuff. So just taking it a day at a time."

Hurts was walking well with no obvious limp or even hitch in his gait as Philadelphia tries to get him as close to 100% as possible for the NFCCG.

"Every game is different," said Hurts when asked if his whole arsenal will be at his disposal. "So just want to take it a day at a time and progress."

Backup Kenny Pickett was estimated as a full participant with the rib injury he’s been dealing with since subbing in for a concussed Hurts in a Week 16 loss at Washington.

There were some unexpected hiccups on the injury report with tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) and center Cam Jurgens (back) listed as non-participants in the walkthrough.

Along with Hurts, receiver A.J. Brown (knee/rest), WR/punt returner Britain Covey (neck), right tackle Lane Johnson (knee/rest), cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder), and edge rusher Josh Sweat (ankle/rest) were estimated as limited.

Defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring) was gauged as a full participant.

Covey and Young are both in their 21-day practice windows toward a potential return from injured reserve with the former’s window opening earlier Wednesday.
