Philadelphia's latest roster move hints at Jalen Hurts clearing concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's Wild Card matchup against Green Bay.

During the regular season, the rule is that a practice squad guy can only get elevated from the practice squad to the active roster up to three times, and if they’re going to be on the active roster after that, they have to be signed. This year that happened with tight end C.J. Uzomah. Last year it happened with punter Braden Mann.
