Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined after lung blood clots diagnosed

Doctors have identified deep‑vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli in Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, prompting a joint statement from the team and his representative that he is clinically stable but must remain on blood‑thinners. While he continues conditioning with the team, he cannot participate in any contact sport until the medication is stopped, with treatment expected to last at least three months. The Eagles have named Tanner McKee as the starter in Hurts' absence. The situation adds to the Eagles' injury concerns as the season progresses.
