Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts appeared to injure his left knee during the team's 28-22 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
While Hurts was sacked a total of seven times throughout the win, it was really obvious when he was slow to get up after being taken down by Rams defenders Desjuan Johnson and Jaylen McCollough in the third quarter.
Hurts attempted to walk in off and even took a trip to the blue medical tent before returning to the field with a knee brace.

He finished the game completing 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards and rushed seven times for 70 yards, including a career-high 44-yard touchdown run.
Immediately following the win, Hurts was asked about his knee by NBC Sports' sideline reporter Melissa Starks.
"I'm sure I'll get asked about it later. I don't know if I can answer right now," Hurts said.
Stark followed Hurts' answer with, "Are you OK?"
"I finished the game," Hurts replied.

Hurts was then asked during his post-game presser how he physically felt.
"Tough game," he said. "A challenging game. I was able to finish the game, and we will see how the week goes."
Hurts said he was confident he would be ready to play next week against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game, however, he reiterated he would wait and see how the week progresses.
“Great question. No,” Hurts said. “Just seeing how the week will go. Seeing how things progress.”
Head coach Nick Sirianni may have an update on Hurts' injury when he speaks to reports on Monday afternoon. But if not, we'll have to wait for better clarity on Hurts' game status for Sunday when the Eagles return to practice on Wednesday.
