Eagles Triumph Despite
Hurts' Knee Injury 

Despite a visible knee injury, Jalen Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 38-31 victory over the Washington Commanders. Hurts, showing resilience, threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns, with A.J. Brown receiving two of them. This win improved the Eagles' record to 7-1, bolstering their Super Bowl aspirations.

Hurts, downplaying his knee issue, focused on the team's journey, while Coach Nick Sirianni praised his toughness and leadership. Hurts' reluctance to run was evident as he only rushed for 7 yards, his lowest since December 2021. Despite a fumble and limited ground game, Hurts excelled in passing, with Brown making history with 125-plus yards in six consecutive games.

The Eagles' defense stepped up in the second half, with key interceptions and sacks. Washington, now 3-5, faced setbacks with Coach Ron Rivera missing a challenge opportunity and receiver Terry McLaurin dropping crucial passes.

Injuries were a concern for both teams, with the Eagles' Jalen Carter, Grant Calcaterra, and Bradley Roby, and the Commanders' Curtis Samuel and Ricky Stromberg, all sustaining injuries. The Eagles are set to face the Dallas Cowboys next.

Harden Out, Embiid Plays in 76ers’
Home Opener Amid NBA's
Resting Policy Scrutiny

James Harden missed the Philadelphia 76ers' home opener against Portland, continuing his absence from all three games following his offseason trade demand. Officially, the Sixers cite the need for Harden to improve his conditioning. Despite not traveling with the team initially, Harden has been practicing and was present for the film session and walkthrough, albeit in casual attire on the bench.

Coach Nick Nurse reported positive signs regarding Harden's conditioning and anticipates his return to practice soon, with the 76ers' next game scheduled for Thursday.

Joel Embiid, on the other hand, chose to play despite the possibility of rest, contributing significantly in the previous games. His decision to play in the home opener came amidst the NBA's strengthened rules against resting healthy players, particularly stars, without approval. The league is investigating Harden's absence, especially from the nationally televised season opener, under this policy. Nurse acknowledged that these rules slightly complicate decisions regarding player rest.
