Key Points:
- Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for Week 6 against the Panthers due to a blood clot in his leg, confirmed by the team's medical staff.
- Hurts initially sought treatment for a calf injury after being cleated during the Rams game, with an ultrasound revealing a superficial blood clot following the team's flight to London.
- Despite the clot, Hurts played in the Sunday game in London without limitation and practiced fully afterward, with ongoing communication between the team and the league.
- A follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night showed movement in the clot, prompting the decision to sideline Hurts for the upcoming game to prioritize his health and determine further treatment.
- The situation may require an extended recovery period, and Hurts will miss at least one game as the team monitors his condition.
