Eagles Rule Out Jalen Hurts for Sunday’s Game Against Carolina with a Blood Clot

A follow-up ultrasound showed movement in the clot, and the Eagles said they will determine Jalen Hurts’ treatment before he returns.

  • The Philadelphia Eagles announced Thursday that quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers after being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his calf.
  • Hurts sustained the calf injury during a Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on October 4 when he took a cleat to his calf area.
  • Medical staff discovered the clot Saturday in London but initially cleared him to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars; however, a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday revealed the clot had moved.
  • Backup quarterback Tanner McKee will make his third career start against Carolina as the team determines an appropriate course of treatment for Hurts.
  • Currently 2-3, the Eagles are navigating a tumultuous first five weeks after losing three straight games, making Sunday's matchup critical for season momentum.
