Jalen Hurts Placed on IR Due to Blood Clot

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve due to a blood clot in his calf, sidelining him indefinitely after extensive consultations with medical experts. Hurts’ health issue prompted the team to wait until after receiving further medical insights, which led them to announce his status on Saturday afternoon. The quarterback’s condition has been constantly monitored by multiple healthcare providers.

Hurts is set to miss upcoming games against notable teams such as the Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders, and New York Giants. His treatment and return timeline will depend on the recommendations from his medical team, adhering to his health and safety. Philadelphia has already made adjustments, with Tanner McKee stepping in as the starting quarterback and Joe Milton being signed from Dallas’ practice squad.

The Eagles have faced several other challenges this season, including injuries to key players and changes in their lineup. Nevertheless, they continue to address these issues while focusing on improving their offensive performance across upcoming games.
