Eagles Decide Against Placing Jalen Hurts on Injured Reserve

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is currently sidelined indefinitely because of a blood clot in his leg. Despite this, the team has decided not to place him on injured reserve, indicating they believe he may not miss at least four games.

The Eagles have not discussed the option of injured reserve, which raises questions given the uncertainty surrounding Hurts' recovery timeline. He is undergoing treatment with blood thinners, preventing him from playing during this period.

Over the next 22 days, the Eagles are scheduled to play four games. The decision not to utilize injured reserve means the team is operating with a reduced roster, currently at 51 players, as they have retained retired right tackle Lane Johnson for salary cap reasons.
