Jalen Hurts’ Injury: What Happened to Eagles QB? When Will NFL Star Play Again?

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without their star quarterback, Jalen Hurts, for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season due to a serious blood clot and deep vein thrombosis diagnosis. Initially thought to be a superficial clot in his left calf, subsequent tests revealed a more severe condition involving both lungs. The Eagles and Hurts' agent have stated that he is expected to make a full recovery and could return in the 2027 NFL season.

Despite the news, the NFL will not punish the Eagles for their handling of Hurts' injury. Hurts remains involved in the team's game planning, communicating frequently with teammates before games.
