The sidelined quarterback, out for the season with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, joined team meetings as the 2-6 Eagles prepare to face the Giants.
Jalen Hurts made a rare visit to the Eagles practice facility on Wednesday, marking the first time some of his teammates had seen him since he was placed on injured reserve in October. The 28 year old quarterback joined team meetings but did not address the club, according to ESPN.
Hurts was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, a blood clot condition that will keep him out for the remainder of the season. His presence was described as a morale boost for a Philadelphia team that has struggled badly without him.
The Eagles enter Week 9 at 2-6, last in the NFC East, and face the Giants in their upcoming rivalry matchup. Hurts' appearance comes amid ongoing uncertainty at quarterback for Philadelphia as the team tries to navigate the rest of the season without its starter.
