The Philadelphia Eagles are battling an unexpected illness for top DT Jalen Carter ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jalen Hurts was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice, but the Eagles are dealing with injuries to other key offensive players.

The severity of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ left knee injury is a major concern heading into Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at home against the Washington Commanders. Hurts, who practiced every day this week, told reporters on Friday that his knee is getting better, but he still plans on wearing a brace against the Commanders.
