Rams may have inadvertently derailed Jalen Hurts’ season
Could a cleat to the calf mean the end of Jalen Hurts’ 2026 season?
The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that starting quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss at least one game due to a blood clot in his calf, which he sustained during a game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4. The clot worsened and led to Hurts' absence from the Eagles' Week 6 matchup against the same team. Initially, Hurts visited the training room on Thursday, October 8th, after practice, informing medical staff that he had been cleated in the calf during the Rams game.
He received treatment on Friday and practiced fully, leading to his inclusion in the practice report. The injury's impact on Hurts' season is uncertain, but there are concerns that it could derail the entire campaign, as some believe the injury is related to the poor performance he has exhibited throughout the season.
