Jalen Hurts is heading back to the Pro Bowl-this time as a late addition, but a deserving one nonetheless.
Despite a rocky year for the Eagles’ offense in 2025, Hurts has been named to the NFC roster for the Pro Bowl Games, stepping in as a replacement as others bow out due to injuries, scheduling conflicts, or simply opting out of the festivities. With the event set for February 3rd, Hurts will make his third career Pro Bowl appearance-and it comes just as his time as the reigning Super Bowl MVP winds down.
Let’s be honest: the Eagles’ offense didn’t exactly light it up this past season. Cam Jurgens was the only offensive player from Philly initially voted in, which reflected the unit’s overall inconsistency.
But Hurts’ inclusion now is a reminder that his talent and leadership still carry weight around the league. Even in a year where the offense struggled to find rhythm, Hurts continued to show the poise, dual-threat ability, and toughness that have defined his rise in the NFL.
What stands out here isn’t just the nod itself-it’s that Hurts is healthy enough and willing to suit up. The Pro Bowl Games aren’t exactly high-stakes football, but they do offer a chance for players to reconnect with the game in a looser, more celebratory environment. For Hurts, it’s an opportunity to get back on the field, enjoy the moment, and maybe even reset after a long, grueling season.
And for Eagles fans, it’s a welcome sight. Seeing your franchise quarterback back out there, smiling, throwing darts in a no-pressure setting-it’s a reminder of the guy who led your team to the top not long ago. That spark, that joy, can carry over into OTAs and beyond.
So while the Pro Bowl doesn’t carry the weight it once did, Jalen Hurts’ presence adds a little juice to the event-and maybe gives Philly a bit of momentum heading into the offseason.
