Eagles' Jalen Hurts says he's playing with broken finger on non-throwing hand

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said he played through a broken finger on his non-throwing hand in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hurts finished with 290 yards passing and two touchdowns, and he also ran for a score.

“It's broken, and it did impact my play,” Hurts said.

Hurts appeared to suffer the injury last week against Carolina. He was listed on the injury report this past week with a finger issue on his left hand.

Hurts had come under criticism of late for a string of subpar performances — he failed to top 200 yards passing in any of the previous three games — but deftly led the Eagles to a franchise-record 10th straight win.

“I’ve known it’s been at the state it’s at all week, and I don’t really want to put too much more into it,” Hurts said. “I can say I don’t think it got any worse today. If it’s shattered, it’s shattered. It is what it is.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith left Sunday night's game against Green Bay with a knee injury.

He was hit low by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, who rolled over Smith's ankle. Smith limped off the field, throwing his helmet as he reached the sideline. He walked off the field a short time later, accompanied to the locker room by trainers.

The team said he had a knee injury and his return was questionable.

Sam Howell, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Washington, replaced Smith. He'd played just one snap for Seattle prior to entering the game with his team trailing 20-6.

Smith entered the NFC showdown second in the league in attempts, completions and passing yards, but he struggled before he was hurt, throwing his fourth end-zone interception this season. He was 15 of 19 for 149 yards and the pick.
