Jalen Hurts Sidelined by Movement in Leg Blood Clot

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss at least Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers after a follow-up ultrasound found movement in a superficial blood clot in his calf, reportedly stemming from being cleated in Week 4. The Eagles are keeping him off injured reserve for now, leaving open the possibility of a return sooner than the four-game minimum absence, though his return date remains uncertain. Hurts and the team are consulting medical professionals about treatment; blood thinners could rule him out for weeks, and his health is the priority. Tanner McKee is set to start against Carolina, and Joe Milton has joined the quarterback group.
