Head coach Nick Sirianni said that if Hurts is medically cleared by the team’s doctors and training staff this week, he will start against the Giants. Hurts amassed 294 yards of total offense and accounted for three touchdowns in the matchup earlier this season against the Giants, a 48-22 win in Week 14.
“First and foremost, we’re always going to want him to be healthy enough to not put himself at danger. That’s first and foremost,” Sirianni said, “but also so that he can perform at a high level. When you’re talking about throwing the football and an injured shoulder, it’s a little different than other injuries. He’s got to be able to throw the ball down the field. He’s got to be able to throw it accurately. He’s got to be able to throw it with velocity, so that he can be effective as a quarterback.”
The Giants clinched a playoff spot on Sunday against the Colts and are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC.
Hurts returned to practice last week and participated during individual and positional drills, and he’s expected to participate in today’s walkthrough.
