Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, October 19, 2026 —
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been sidelined indefinitely after blood clots were found in his calf and lungs. The condition is described as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli.
Hurts has been placed on injured reserve and requires treatment with blood thinners. The summary of his condition says the absence could cost him the rest of the season, but does not establish that he will miss the remainder of the schedule.
No date for the diagnosis or injured-reserve placement was provided. The information available also does not specify when Hurts might return, how long his treatment is expected to last, or whether the Eagles have issued a further update on his status. The team’s plans at quarterback during his absence were not provided.
The reported diagnosis involves clots in two locations: Hurts’ calf and lungs. His status is indefinite, meaning no return timetable has been stated in the information provided. The potential impact on the rest of the season remains uncertain; the report identifies that possibility but does not confirm an outcome.
For now, the confirmed details are that Hurts is out indefinitely, has been placed on injured reserve and requires blood thinners as treatment. Further information about his recovery, the timing of any update and the effect on the Eagles’ season was not included.
