Jalen Hurts to Miss Game Due to Blood Clot

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for the Week 6 game against the Panthers due to a blood clot in his leg. The condition developed last week, following a calf injury he sustained during the game against the Rams on October 4.

Hurts initially sought treatment for his calf after practice on October 8, having practiced fully on both Wednesday and Thursday. An ultrasound conducted on Saturday revealed a superficial blood clot, but doctors advised that he could play while monitoring the situation closely.

Despite playing without limitations in the previous game, a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night indicated movement in the blood clot, leading to the decision to keep him out of the upcoming match. The team is prioritizing his health and safety as they determine the next steps for treatment.
