Injuries and news we're monitoring around the league on this Week 17 Sunday:
- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been replaced in the fourth quarter by Nate Sudfeld. The Eagles were trailing by three points when Sudfeld entered the game. Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is healthy, but the team has decided to rest him for Sunday night against Washington and lean on younger wideouts, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. Backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld could see extended action if there's a spot where it makes sense to pull Jalen Hurts, Garafolo added. The Eagles placed cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman on the reserve/COVID-19 list and running back Adrian Killins Jr. on the practice squad COVID-19 list. Philly also elevated cornerback Jameson Houston from the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement.
