Health Expert Explains Blood Clot Risk After Jaylen Hurts Put on IR
Hurts will miss at least four games while receiving treatment, and the Eagles turned to Tanner McKee after consulting multiple doctors.
- 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.
