OK, here's everything I saw from the press box ...
Hurts goes in the medical tent with what I presume is the NFL's concussion spotter.
The concussion spotter came out of the tent and went to look at a video monitor with Hurts still in there.
Hurts came out of the tent to watch the game while he waited, and saw Dalton throw the red-zone interception. He was clearly frustrated not to be in the game.
He's now on the sideline with the rest of the quarterbacks. Seems OK. #Eagles · Quoting EJ Smith: Jalen Hurts just came out of the medical tent just in time to watch that Andy Dalton red-zone interception.
He is fired up on the sideline now as (I presume) he waits to find out if he's cleared to return. #Eagles
