Eagles QB Jalen Hurts leaves game vs. Bears briefly after hard hit out of bounds, evaluated for concussion

During Monday's matchup, Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts took a forceful sideline collision from Chicago defender D'Marco Jackson while escaping toward the right boundary. Although the defender drew an unnecessary roughness infraction, officials temporarily removed Hurts for a medical assessment regarding potential head trauma.

Andy Dalton stepped in under center for the remainder of that possession, which concluded when Chicago intercepted a pass. Following medical clearance from team personnel and an independent specialist, Hurts rejoined the contest before halftime and engineered a rapid scoring sequence capped by his own short rushing touchdown.

Eagles leader Nick Sirianni later acknowledged the necessary caution shown by the medical staff during the broadcast.
