McNabb’s Hurts Update Shifts Focus From Stats To Life

After a tough game, the Philadelphia Eagles are focusing on the well-being of their quarterback, Jalen Hurts. The star player is currently battling blood clots and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season. Former quarterback Donovan McNabb reached out to Hurts to check in on his health during an appearance on Eagles Collective. He reassured fans that Hurts is "doing well" and "in good spirits" despite the serious diagnosis.

Hurts' season started off strong with a 2-0 record, but injuries soon piled up. He had a calf issue in early October and was placed on injured reserve after being ruled out for a week. It is likely that he will not play again until 2027 at the earliest. McNabb, who has experienced similar situations before, emphasized the importance of Hurts' health above all else. He stated, "All that matters about is his health," highlighting that football cannot compare to the player's life.

The Eagles lost their most recent game to Washington, bringing their season record to 2-6. They now face a challenging schedule ahead. While the team has a shot at winning the division, it will require them to stay healthy. McNabb believes that the focus should be on supporting Hurts' recovery, rather than the football standings. He said, "It’s beyond football... I think we can take the football, you know, situation out and just focus more on what this looks like for Jalen for his life, and that’s the main thing."
