Trying to pull off another comeback victory, it appeared the Philadelphia Eagles were going to have to do it without quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The former Alabama QB made a brief stop at the sideline medical tent, then headed for the locker room after being stopped for a 6-yard gain on a third-and-8 scramble with 2:32 left in the third quarter against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Eagles announced Hurts had gone to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion under the NFL’s concussion protocol.

When Philadelphia regained possession, Marcus Mariota took the field as the Eagles’ quarterback with Hurts still in the locker room. But after five snaps, including a fourth-down run by the backup quarterback, Hurts was back in the game, and he completed a 13-play, 71-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DeVonta Smith to cut San Francisco’s lead to 35-19 with 5:33 to play.

Philadelphia trailed the 49ers 28-13 when Hurts left the game.

The Eagles had trailed at halftime in each of their previous four games but rallied to win each.

Hurts entered Sunday with a five-game winning streak as a starting quarterback in games in which Philadelphia trailed by at least 10 points. That was tied for the longest in the NFL since 1950, when the league began recording starts, with streaks by Joe Montana and Steve Bartkowski.
