Jalen Hurts does not take part in practice
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts misses practice and has been ruled out for Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts did not participate in practice on Thursday, Oct. 15, due to a calf injury. According to SB Nation, the team announced Hurts has a small "superficial blood clot" in his calf and is being kept out of activity due to an abundance of caution following apparent movement with the clot.
SB Nation reports that Hurts requested treatment for his calf on Thursday, Oct. 8, after noting he was cleated during the game against the Rams on Oct. 4. An ultrasound performed on Saturday in London revealed the superficial blood clot. While medical staff previously concluded Hurts could safely play, doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of his return flight to Philadelphia and the upcoming game.
Yahoo Sports reports that Hurts is expected to miss at least a week due to the blood clot in his leg. As a result, Tanner McKee is set to serve as the starting quarterback for the time being.
