Jalen Hurts Out for Season Due to Health Complications

Jalen Hurts will not return this season due to serious health issues stemming from a blood clot in his leg. His agent, Nicole Lynn, and the Philadelphia Eagles announced the news on Monday, detailing the quarterback's deteriorating condition.

Initially diagnosed with a superficial vein thrombosis while in London for a game against the Jaguars, further tests revealed a more severe deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. This diagnosis indicates that clots have moved to Hurts's lungs, complicating his recovery. The team has outlined a recovery plan involving anticoagulants, but Hurts will be sidelined from all contact activities.

Concerns have been raised regarding the Eagles' management of Hurts's health, particularly why he was allowed to travel and play despite the initial diagnosis. Following his return to the U.S., subsequent tests confirmed the worsening of his condition, leading to his placement on injured reserve.
