Jalen Hurts Out Vs. Panthers With Blood Clot
The Eagles announced Thursday that Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers. A blood clot in his calf showed movement on a follow-up scan.
- Oct. 4: Hurts took a cleat to the calf against the Rams.
- Oct. 10: an ultrasound in London found a superficial clot.
- 21 of 40 passing for 220 yards in the 19-17 Jaguars loss.
- Wednesday night: a second ultrasound showed the clot had moved.
Why it matters: The Eagles have lost three straight and rank 29th in points per game. Losing their starting quarterback adds to a growing injury list.
- Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith missed Wednesday practice with hamstring injuries.
- Right tackle Lane Johnson retired earlier this month.
