Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Expected to Miss Rest of Season with Blood Clots
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to blood clots in his lungs. A person familiar with the situation confirmed that Hurts was placed on injured reserve after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli following an injury sustained during a game against the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts' treatment includes blood thinners, which will prevent him from participating in football activities until he is off them. The Eagles stated that Hurts is clinically stable and expected to make a full recovery. This marks his first extended absence since becoming the team's starter in 2021. In his place, backup quarterback Tanner McKee started against the Panthers but struggled as Philadelphia lost its fourth consecutive game. Hurts has been instrumental in leading the Eagles to multiple playoff appearances and Super Bowl victories. His injury comes at a critical time for the struggling team, which is now winless in four games this season.
