Former Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts is set to miss the Philadelphia Eagles Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys as he's been ruled out with a concussion. Hurts left the Eagles' Week 16 game after taking a blow to the head.

The Eagles are still in the hunt for the top overall seed in the NFC but trail the Detroit Lions by a game.

Several former Alabama players are listed as questionable entering the weekend's action. Former defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, Anfernee Jennings, A'Shan Robinson and Quinnen Williams are all in the gray area along with Miami Dolphins offensive stars Jaylen Waddle and Tua Tagovailoa.

On This Date in Crimson Tide History:

December 28, 1985: Freshman running back Gene Jelks and junior linebacker Cornelius Bennett were named game MVPs after Alabama's 24-3 victory over Southern California in the Aloha Bowl. A 1-yard run by Craig Turner, a 24-yard pass from Mike Shula to Clay Whitehurst and a 14-yard end around by Al Bell accounted for the Crimson Tide touchdowns.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"We had great respect for Alabama, especially its defense, we knew they were a formidable opponent. But in retrospect, I think they were a lot stronger than a lot of our people thought."

- Dennis Erickson after 1993 Sugar Bowl
