The Philadelphia Eagles are set to have their star quarterback take the field in Arlington, Texas, on Sunday for a NFC East division tilt against the Dallas Cowboys.

While Jalen Hurts is cleared, per the latest injury report, and is expected to suit up in Week 10, the two-time Pro Bowler's status for Sunday was briefly in doubt. On Friday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni seemingly let it slip to reporters that Hurts sat out of practice on Wednesday because he was dealing with an unspecified ankle issue.

Sirianni did quickly attempt to clarify, saying Hurts was granted a "rest day" and he did not have an injury. When asked why Hurts was listed for rest when the 26-year-old hadn't been previously, the Eagles coach said, "Yeah, he was dealing with — it was on the injury report. Dealing with the ankle. And, you know, making sure we’re cautious with everything."
