Jalen Hurts had surgery earlier this offseason on his right ankle, according to a new report from ESPN.

The procedure was performed to remove ‘hardware’ that had been in Hurts’ ankle since 2018, when the quarterback was playing for Alabama in college and suffered a high-ankle sprain, sources told the publication.

The surgery was considered minor, and Hurts will be a ‘full participant’ in the Eagles’ offseason program that begins next week, the report said.

The deal guarantees him $180million, and also offers him around $15million a season in incentives, according to NFL Network.

His new deal also reportedly includes a no-trade clause, which would be the first in Eagles history.
