Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will return to practice Wednesday ahead of the team's wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Nick Sirianni said, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Hurts missed the last two regular-season games with a concussion he suffered against the Washington Commanders on Dec. 22. Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee started in his place against the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, respectively.

The Eagles won both matchups without Hurts to finish the regular season 14-3 and lock up the No. 2 seed in the NFC.

The 26-year-old passed for 2,903 yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions in 15 starts this season. Hurts added 630 rushing yards and 14 scores on the ground.

Philadelphia defeated Green Bay 34-29 in its Week 1 matchup in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The 7-seed Packers finished the regular season 11-6.

The Eagles host the Packers at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
