  "summary": "The Philadelphia Eagles are placing quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, a move that will sideline him indefinitely. According to Yahoo Sports, this decision follows consultations with numerous doctors and experts. The move comes after reports emerged following a game against the LA Rams that Hurts had a blood clot. Although he previously traveled to London to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a follow-up scan on October 14 indicated the clot had moved.\n\nThe Japan Times reports that Hurts will undergo treatment for the clot. The medical situation had already ensured he would miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, with backup Tanner McKee expected to play in his place. Yahoo Sports notes that the Eagles have entered this period with a 2-3 record through their first five games.",
