Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined indefinitely with multiple lung blood clots

The Philadelphia Eagles confirmed that quarterback Jalen Hurts has been moved to injured reserve following the detection of multiple blood clots in his lungs, including bilateral pulmonary emboli and deep-vein thrombosis. Although he remains clinically stable and shows no functional limitations, he must stay off blood-thinners before returning to contact football. Hurts’ agent Nicole Lynn emphasized a favorable prognosis and a full recovery without long-term effects.

The condition originated from a superficial clot found in his calf during a precautionary ultrasound in London, which later migrated. While Hurts continues conditioning with the team, the Eagles have named Tanner McKee as the starter for the foreseeable future.
