After a 13-yard run, Hurts was sent off the field. Checked in the sideline medical tent, Hurts came out and put his helmet on, standing ready to go back into the game until the Eagles’ medical staff took him to the locker room. He hasn’t played since.

With Hurts cleared, the NFC East champion Eagles are close to full strength in the starting lineup for their NFC wild-card game Sunday against the Packers.

Despite critics labeling him a weakness, Hurts’ numbers and history of rising in the postseason tell a story of resilience and clutch performances.
