Jalen Hurts said Wednesday that he will play Sunday against the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, despite injuring his knee against the Rams.

The quarterback was less forthcoming, however, when asked if he will be able to play "the way he usually does."

"Every game is different," Hurts said during his media availability. "So, just want to be able to take it a day at a time and continue to progress."

Hurts was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's injury report. But the report was an estimation, as the Eagles held a walkthrough (not a full practice).

Eagles fans and media will keep their eyes peeled for any clues regarding the status of Hurts' knee. But it's unlikely that anyone will hear much more about it from the quarterback himself.
