In a dire turn for the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to worsening complications from blood clots in his calf that have spread to his lungs. Initially ruled out of the game against the Panthers, an X-ray revealed the alarming spread of the clots. Treatment now involves aggressive blood thinners and constant monitoring, with no lasting effects expected but a high risk of the condition worsening if Hurts engages in strenuous physical activity.
The situation has sparked questions about the Eagles' decision-making. Hurts was in the hospital the night before their Week 5 match against the Jaguars, forced to stay awake due to the risk to his health. Despite this, he played and even flew to London for that game. The Eagles' agent revealed these details, raising concerns about the team's handling of the situation and why Hurts was allowed to travel and return to Philadelphia so quickly after such a serious medical issue.
This grave development could potentially be the final blow to an already struggling Eagles season, which sits at 2-4 and faces a bleak postseason outlook.
