Jalen Hurts Out for Season with Blood Clots, Eagles Face Uncertain Future

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season after being diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs. The condition, described as stable, requires treatment with blood thinners, prohibiting him from participating in contact activities.

Hurts' diagnosis comes as the Eagles are already struggling, having lost four consecutive games to fall to a 2-4 record. The team initially placed him on injured reserve with a blood clot in his calf, but further testing revealed the more serious condition in his lungs. Tanner McKee is expected to continue as the starting quarterback in Hurts' absence, adding significant uncertainty to the team's playoff aspirations.
