Jalen Hurts Out Indefinitely Due to Superficial Blood Clot

The Philadelphia Eagles announced that quarterback Jalen Hurts will be sidelined indefinitely due to a superficial blood clot in his leg. This decision follows a follow-up ultrasound that revealed movement in the clot, prompting concerns about potential complications.

Hurts initially sought treatment for a calf issue after the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, believing he had sustained an injury during the game. An ultrasound conducted after the team's arrival in London confirmed the presence of the blood clot. Although he was cleared to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a subsequent ultrasound indicated changes in the clot's position.

While the Eagles have not provided extensive details, the classification of the clot as superficial is considered a positive sign. Treatment options may include rest and elevation of the leg, but Hurts will not be able to participate in games until the situation is resolved. His status remains uncertain as the team prepares for their next match against the Carolina Panthers.
