Jalen Hurts says his finger is "progressing" in the correct way as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

Hurts dislocated the middle finger on his throwing hand in the regular-season finale against the New York Giants. 

The quarterback wore a glove on his throwing hand during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media.

Before that, Hurts said he hadn't thrown a ball since Sunday's game at New York.

"Obviously leaving that game and attempting to go back into that game probably wasn't physically the best idea, not having much control over the things that I wanted to do," he said. "But time will tell with that, and I can assure you things are progressing in the right way."
