Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will have surgery Wednesday on his ankle, according to a new report from NFL Network. He should be fully recovered by the time OTAs start in the spring.

Hurts suffered an ankle injury toward the end of the season. It forced him to miss Week 13’s game against the New York Jets, where backup quarterback Gardner Minshew filled in and the Eagles won, 33-18.

Hurts returned after the Jets game off the bye week against the Washington Football Team. He won his last three starts of the season to secure a spot in the playoffs, but the injury reportedly affected his game.
