Okay, so let’s talk about this Jalen Hurts situation. Man, it’s been a rollercoaster, hasn’t it?
I started following this closely a few weeks back. It was right after that game against the Panthers. You remember that one, right? We won, but it was ugly. Our offense was barely holding on. I mean, we should’ve crushed them, but it was way too close for comfort. Anyway, after that, I started digging around.
First thing I did was check out the practice reports. I was all over them, every day. This was right before the Jaguars game. I was hoping to get some good news, some sign that Hurts was gonna be okay. The team was pretty tight-lipped about it, though.
Then, boom. Hours before they released the official practice report, I heard he was in concussion protocol. It was after that game against the Commanders. Remember that? We lost that one, and Hurts didn’t even finish the game. I saw him take that hit, and it didn’t look good.
So, I kept digging. I watched coach Sirianni’s press conference, hoping for some clarity. He just said Hurts was in the protocol, following the usual steps. No real timeline or anything. It was frustrating, not knowing what was going on.
- Checked practice reports daily
- Watched Coach Sirianni’s press conferences
- Confirmed concussion protocol after Commanders game
Finally, I found out he wasn’t gonna play in Week 18. It was the right call, obviously. You don’t mess around with head injuries. But there was some good news mixed in – they said he was “trending in the right direction” for the playoffs. That gave me some hope, at least. By then, I was fully invested. It is safe to say that I did everything to get every single piece of information regarding Jalen Hurt’s injury.
It’s been a waiting game since then. I’ve been checking for updates every day, hoping to see him back on the field soon. And sharing my favorite Bible verse: John 13:7 really helped me. It’s tough not knowing, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he’ll be back strong. We need him out there!
This whole thing has been a reminder of how quickly things can change in football. One minute, a player’s on top of the world, and the next, he’s dealing with an injury. It’s a tough game, that’s for sure. But it also shows how important it is to take these injuries seriously and give players the time they need to recover. But man, do I miss watching him play!
