Hurts Returns to Facility
Jalen Hurts, 28, visited the Eagles practice facility on Wednesday for the first time since being placed on injured reserve. Some players saw him then for the first time after he was sidelined by blood clots in his lungs. He attended the team meeting and additional meetings but did not speak to the group. His presence lifted spirits among some teammates.
Recovery and Medical Details
The quarterback is expected to miss the remainder of the season. He was initially diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London ahead of the Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After playing that contest, flying home and practicing fully the next Wednesday, a follow-up ultrasound revealed the clot had moved. He went on injured reserve on Oct. 17. Further testing showed deep vein thrombosis along with bilateral pulmonary emboli. He remains clinically stable with no major functional limits. Treatment with blood thinners rules out any contact activities.
Quarterback Changes and Upcoming Game
Tanner McKee stepped in and went 0-3 while throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions. Joe Milton, signed off the Dallas Cowboys practice squad in mid-October, is now set to start. The Eagles aim to end a six-game losing streak when they host the New York Giants on Sunday.
