Jalen Hurts Healthy, Expected to Increase Rushing in Eagles Playoff Push
Jalen Hurts enters the playoffs healthy, prompting speculation that the Eagles will utilize his legs more after a regular season with career-low rushing attempts (105) and yards per game (26.3). In nine career playoff games, Hurts has averaged 42.3 rushing yards, including 72 in Super Bowl LIX, an element largely missing this season. While Hurts isn't sure if his limited workload contributed to his health, opponents like 49ers DC Robert Saleh recognize his danger escaping pressure and on designed QB runs, suggesting an increased role is likely.
