Eagles don't plan to put QB Jalen Hurts on injured reserve
- The Philadelphia Eagles are not placing quarterback Jalen Hurts on Injured Reserve despite his indefinite sidelining after an ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot had moved, ruling him out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
- Treatment for the superficial blood clot involves blood thinners, which prevent Hurts from competing; a moderate dose of anticoagulants typically requires a minimum of six weeks for recovery.
- Backup Tanner McKee will start against the Carolina Panthers, with rookie Cole Payton and Joe Milton rounding out quarterback depth, while the Eagles operate with a 51-man roster including retired Lane Johnson.
- General manager Howie Roseman and the front office have not discussed placing Hurts on Injured Reserve, which would mandate a four-week absence, as the team faces four games over the next 22 days.
- Medical teams will determine when Hurts returns, with potential recovery times ranging from three weeks to several months, though worsening conditions could extend treatment to three months.
