Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has blood clots in both lungs and will miss football activities during treatment. The team and agent Nicole Lynn announced the diagnosis Monday.
Diagnosis: deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli.
3 months minimum for treatment, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
The statement gave no return date but predicted a full recovery.
25-14 loss to Carolina came with Tanner McKee starting.
Why it matters: Hurts was cleared to play in London after doctors found a superficial clot. The clot later moved, and he is now reportedly done for the year.
36 hours awake before the Jaguars game, Tom Pelissero reported, because sleep posed a risk.
The Eagles said doctors determined Hurts could safely play.
What’s next: Hurts will stay around the team and keep conditioning while on blood thinners. He can resume contact football once off them, the statement said.
Eagles and Cowboys, both 2-4, meet Oct. 26.
