Bleacher Report • • general
Key Points:
- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve due to blood clots and is expected to eventually resume football activities, but he will miss the remainder of the current season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
- The decision to place Hurts on injured reserve came after a follow-up ultrasound showed movement in a small blood clot, despite initial medical assessments allowing him to continue playing.
- Hurts sustained a calf injury in Week 4 but played through it in Week 5; however, the blood clot diagnosis has now sidelined him for upcoming games as the team prioritizes his health and safety.
- This season, Hurts has completed 57.8% of his passes for 933 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions over five games, while also rushing for 107 yards and one touchdown.
- The Eagles, currently 3-3, aim to secure their sixth consecutive playoff appearance and third straight division title following a Super Bowl win in 2024 and a Wild Card round exit last season.
