Eagles place Jalen Hurts on injured reserve after blood clot diagnosis

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was sidelined after doctors found a superficial blood clot in his calf, and the team placed him on injured reserve; reports said he was out for the season. Coach Nick Sirianni defended the organization’s handling of the diagnosis, expressed trust in the medical staff, and described Hurts as “like a brother.” The situation prompted discussion about the medical timeline, team transparency, and conflicting reports about Hurts’ health and travel arrangements. NFL analyst Michael Robinson speculated that Hurts might be distancing himself from Philadelphia’s struggles, drawing criticism for questioning his motives without evidence amid a serious medical issue.
