Eagles' Jalen Hurts out with blood clot in calf

–

Neutral summary

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers due to a blood clot in his calf, the team announced Thursday. According to Fox News, an ultrasound revealed movement in a superficial blood clot, and the decision was made "out of an abundance of caution." Kicker reports that a follow-up examination found a change in the superficial blood clot, and the player had earlier hinted at an unusual situation before the London game. The injury was suffered in an Oct. 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, and the team had been aware of it, the New York Post notes. Former NFL team doctor David Chao explained that one key word in the Eagles' statement could signal a long-term or season-ending absence. Experts cited by the New York Post estimate recovery timelines ranging from 45 days to three months. The Eagles have lost three straight games, and Jalen Hurts' calf issue makes the road back even steeper, Newsweek writes.
