Adam Schefter fumbles Christmas tweet on Jalen Hurts’ practice availability
Breaking: Jalen Hurts didn’t practice yesterday. Neither did the Eagles, but that didn’t stop Adam Schefter from tossing up a confusing tweet on Christmas, leaving Eagles fans scratching their heads as Philly gears up to host the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday.
Schefter seemingly missed the memo that the Eagles didn’t even practice on Christmas Day, making the injury report he referenced nothing more than a projected list of who wouldn’t have practiced.

Swing and a Miss from Adam Schefter…
Look, Schefter’s usually the gold standard for NFL insiders, but this was a major slip-up. Dishing out a tweet about Jalen Hurts’ availability, viewed over 2.4 million times on Twitter, without clarifying that it was a projected report? That’s a rookie mistake—not something you expect from the man who lives and breathes breaking news.
Yes, Jalen Hurts’ status is up in the air after Washington’s defense basically tried to detach his head 11 plays into last week’s game. But tossing out incomplete information, especially during a high-stakes week, is a bad look. Eagles fans deserve better than speculation disguised as insight.

Eggnog or Engagement Farming?
Was Schefter hitting the eggnog a little too hard before Christmas dinner?
Or was he just chasing engagement numbers? Either way, it’s not great. Throw in his recent penchant for dunking on other Twitter accounts, and this tweet feels extra sloppy.
You can’t call out others while spewing half-baked updates yourself.
QB Shuffle Adds Fuel to the Fire
To make matters worse, the Eagles announced they’re signing QB Ian Book to the practice squad after his visit with the team. Combine that with Hurts being listed as DNP (on a projected report) and Tanner McKee taking reps, and it’s easy to see why fans are on edge. It’s not exactly reassuring when your backup plans start multiplying like gremlins.
Eagles signing Ian Book from Practice Squad means Jalen Hurts is doubtful at best…
Clarify or Move On
If Schefter’s going to swing and miss like this, the least he can do is offer some clarification. Fans rely on him for accurate, timely updates—not cryptic tweets that fuel confusion. For now, Eagles fans will just have to wait and see if Hurts is ready to suit up against Dallas. Obviously, Jalen Hurts’ status is “doubtful” at best.
In the meantime, Schefty might want to ease up on the eggnog and double-check those reports before hitting “send.” Christmas chaos is one thing; misinformation in the thick of an NFC East battle is another.
