According to league sources, Hurts' availability for Saturday's game at the Dallas Cowboys is in doubt due to a shoulder injury.
A source said that it is not a long term injury. If Hurts can't play, Minshew will.
Hurts will need to get strength and function in his shoulder for the long haul, according to a source.
Hurts was injured at the end of the third quarter when he was rammed into the ground by a defensive lineman. Hurts stayed on the ground for a few moments after the hit, but continued to play. He ran for 61 yards and scored three times in Philadelphia's 25-20 victory.

Hurts said that it wasn't the first time he was slow to get up. I played a physical game and it was cold as well. We found a win and in the end found a way.
He ran the ball 17 times. The Bears had 13 quarterback hits on him in the 15th week of the season. Daniel Jones of the New York Giants has the most contacts with quarterbacks on the season with 186.
It was part of the game plan against the defense. You're reading things on the back side, just like Fields did.
The Eagles need to win one more game to get the top seed in the playoffs. As the Eagles try to wrap up the division title and home field advantage throughout the playoffs, there's a good chance Minshew will be the one under center.
