Hurts Likely to Miss Season After Blood Clots

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the 2026 season after tests found deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs, following an initial calf-clot diagnosis in London. Hurts played in Philadelphia’s 19-17 loss to Jacksonville after that initial diagnosis, prompting questions about how the condition was managed. He is clinically stable, taking blood thinners and barred from contact football during treatment; the team and his agent expect him to make a full recovery without long-term effects. Backup Tanner McKee is expected to start as the 2-4 Eagles, coming off four straight losses, try to reverse their slide.
