Jalen Hurts Has Blood Clots in Lungs as Reports Indicate Eagles QB Out for Season
Doctors say Jalen Hurts will need at least three months of blood-thinning treatment, leaving Philadelphia without its star quarterback for the stretch run.
- On Monday, October 19, 2026, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the season after doctors discovered deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
- Medical concerns emerged after Hurts injured his calf during Philadelphia's October 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams; specialists in London initially identified superficial vein thrombosis before further testing revealed the more serious lung condition.
- Hurts will receive blood-thinning medication for at least three months, with Nicole Lynn, president of football at Klutch Sports Group, stating, "He is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations."
- Backup quarterback Tanner McKee will assume starting duties for the 2-4 Eagles, who now face +460 odds to make the playoffs after McKee completed 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers.
- While the team expects a full recovery, Philadelphia must now position itself for the 2027 season and beyond, having committed $255 million to Hurts in a contract extension agreed in April 2023.
