Jalen Hurts evaluated for concussion, cleared to return against Bears
Summary

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts underwent a concussion evaluation after a late hit from D'Marco Jackson during the second quarter of their game against the Chicago Bears on September 29, 2026. Though Hurts was visibly frustrated by his early exit, he was cleared to return shortly after his evaluation. His absence was costly; the Eagles could not convert a scoring opportunity in the red zone with Andy Dalton at quarterback, as Dalton's pass was intercepted. The Eagles will hope for a strong second-half performance as the game continues.
