Jalen Hurts Faces Extended Absence Following Blood Clot Diagnosis

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss multiple games and likely the rest of the 2026 season due to deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. Initially cleared after a calf injury ultrasound revealed a superficial clot in London, follow-up imaging on Oct. 14 showed movement. Hurts is on injured reserve receiving anticoagulants. The NFL and NFLPA are launching a joint probe into his medical care while CBA terms limit legal options.
