Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts showed up at Raymond James Stadium with not only one, but two fingers wrapped as the Birds get ready to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Hurts was listed on the injury report all week due to his right middle finger that he injured in Week 18's loss to the New York Giants, so this wrapped index finger is a surprise.
But perhaps, this finger is wrapped just for show.
Either way, Hurts will be playing against Tamps with at least one banged-up finger.
NBC Sports' John Clark reports that Hurts' dislocated finger has caused "some pain or soreness" and that he may wear a glove tonight for some comfort.
Hurts was able to practice in full every day this week except for Thursday.
Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield is also expected to play through injuries tonight.
Mayfield is dealing with a lingering bruised rib injury and a more recent ankle injury that he sustained last week in Tampa's win over the Carolina Panthers.
The winner of tonight's wild-card matchup will advance to the Divisional Round and play the Detroit Lions at Ford Field next Sunday.
