Ron Stewart on Jalen Hurts

Calf injury eliminates tush push; Eagles passing 40+ twice already this season.

Jalen Hurts' calf muscle injury has eliminated the Eagles' 'tush push' strategy, leading to a significant increase in passing attempts and volume. The Eagles have already thrown 40+ passes twice this season (vs. Titans and Jaguars), compared to only six games in the last three seasons with 35+ pass attempts. Hurts has been handling goal-line and short-yardage carries, including tush push attempts, which reduces red-zone passing volume and touchdown opportunities for receivers like DeVonta Smith. The Eagles are moving away from this strategy in recent weeks.
