Team news: Kansas City Chiefs | Page 42

Jalen Hurts will make his third career start against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas on Sunday.

No shock here as even in a loss to the Cardinals Hurts was again dynamic. Reports say Wentz now wants out of Philly if regulated to a backup next season, and as of now, it looks like the Eagles will be sticking with Hurts for the long term

Jalen Hurts has started only two games. His long-term future is still murky, but the Eagles’ quarterback picture for the next nine months is crystal clear. Barring injury, Hurts will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2021 season, and denying that inevitability is as obtuse as Doug Pederson choosing to wait a day before declaring Hurts next week’s starter.

Wentz has already asked to be moved if Hurts is going to be the starter, according to reports. The author thinks some team will come calling for Wentz and that Wentz will likely play well for his new team next season. The story added in his first two starts, Hurts has piled up 505 passing yards and an NFL-record 169 rushing yards. Against the league’s No. 2 and No. 9 defense, per DVOA, Hurts has led the Eagles to 24 and 26 points, their third- and fifth-highest outputs of the season, respectively.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered what is thought to be a high ankle sprain and a strained hip during the Chiefs' 32-29 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Another report this morning said he is expected to miss the rest of the regular season and the hope is he can return during the postseason, according to the source. The report also said CEH was dealing with a hip injury. Edwards-Helaire was bent backward while being tackled after a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter and then needed help to get off the field.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wants to continue playing next season and, barring a change of heart, intends to fulfill the terms of a contract that has one season remaining on it after this one, league sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

According to the story, sources around Roethlisberger believe the two-time Super Bowl champion is having too much fun and likes his team too much to walk away from it after the 2020 season. Who can blame Big Ben, with a young group of emerging receivers Ben could probably play a couple more years as long as the feelings are mutual.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a hip and an ankle injury yesterday, but X-Rays were negative, per coach Andy Reid.

The injury looked bad as CEH was bent back awkwardly and then needed help coming off the field. The Chiefs will know more after the MRI but right now the early expectation is CEH is done for the regular season with a chance to return for the playoffs, sources told Rapoport. Bell will step in as the lead back with CEH out of the picture and is a must-add if on your wire. Williams should see increased work as the RB2.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire will have an MRI to determine the extent of the hip injury he suffered during Sunday’s win against the Saints.

The injury looked bad initially but head coach Andy Reid said the initial X-rays after the game were negative. The MRI will determine if there was any other sort of damage to his hip and groin, which Verderame says is the biggest concern at the moment for CEH. Hopefully we get some good news regarding CEH in general. We likely won’t see him again until the playoffs. The Chiefs play the Falcons in Week 16.

Ravens head coach told reporters that WR Marquise Brown is "on track" to return from the reserve/COVID list prior to Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Miles Boykin and James Proche are also on the same trajectory as Brown. The Jaguars should not put up much of a fight against the Ravens, but a healthy trio of receivers after run-ins with COVID is good news.

The Ravens placed wide receiver Marquise Brown on the Reserve/COVID list Wednesday.

We don't know if Brown tested positive or was simply deemed a "close contact," but this news puts his status for Week 15's game squarely in jeopardy. If Brown does end up missing Week 15, the Ravens will roll with Willie Snead and Devin Duvernay at receiver with Myles Boykin joining Brown on the COVID list.

Jalen Hurts will start again Sunday vs. Cardinals.

This comes as a surprise to no one, but earlier Monday HC Doug Pederson told a local radio station he hadn't decided yet. Other reports say Hurts will start the rest of the season.
