The news of Minshew starting was reported by Mike Garafolo.
After the Eagles' Week 12 loss to the New York Giants, Nick Sirianni told reporters that Hurts was dealing with a sore ankle.
The young quarterback has been the most important player on the team this season, leading the team with 2,435 passing yards, 695 rushing yards and 21 total touchdown. His production has not translated into wins for the Eagles.
Philadelphia selected Hurts in the second round. He finished his first year as the team's starting quarterback with a 1,061 passing yards, 354 rushing yards and nine total touchdown in 15 games and four starts.
Minshew can help mitigate the loss. In 24 career games, the 25-year-old has completed 63.0% of his passes with 37 touchdown and 11 interceptions.
Philadelphia could rely on its running game while Hurts is out. Running back Miles Sanders came back after missing three games with ankle and foot injuries. He has had four double-digit carries this season, and the Eagles have won three of them.
