  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles announced that Jalen Hurts would sit out Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers due to a medical issue. According to the team's statement, doctors discovered a superficial blood clot in Hurts' leg during a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night. This development came after Hurts initially reported a cleated calf after practice on October 8. He underwent treatment sessions throughout the week, including a scan on Saturday after the team's return from London. Despite the initial clearance for Sunday's game, the follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the clot, leading the Eagles to suspend Hurts for the Panthers matchup. The team emphasized that Hurts' health and safety remained their top priority, with no clear timetable provided for his return. With Hurts sidelined, backup Tanner McKee will assume the role of starting quarterback for the Eagles as they aim to break a three-game losing streak.",
