BREAKING: Eagles Superstar Jalen Hurts Out For The Foreseeable Future After Doctors Weigh In On Injury
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
The Philadelphia Eagles have received troubling news regarding quarterback Jalen Hurts as they prepare for a crucial stretch.
Hurts was initially ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers after doctors discovered a superficial blood clot in his calf. The clot is the result of a cleating incident that occurred during Philadelphia’s October 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport has since reported a significant development, noting that Hurts is “out for the foreseeable future.”
“After consultations with numerous doctors and experts that went into Saturday, the #Eagles are placing quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve,” Rapoport reported on Saturday.

The move means Hurts must miss at least four games, leaving Philadelphia without its starting quarterback for a critical stretch.
Backup Tanner McKee is expected to take over under center against Carolina. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has added Joe Milton, signing him from the Dallas Cowboys practice squad, to provide further depth at quarterback.
Hurts’ recovery timeline remains uncertain beyond the minimum injured-reserve period. But it doesn’t appear that he will play again this season. The Eagles will need to manage his absence carefully while prioritizing his health.
