Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season after tests found deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs, The Associated Press reported.
Hurts is clinically stable and taking blood thinners, which prevent him from playing football. The team expects a full recovery with no long-term effects. A clot traveled from his left calf to his lungs, according to the AP.
At the NFL owners’ meetings Oct. 20, league Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills defended how the Eagles treated Hurts, and a person familiar with the matter told the AP the team will not be punished.
