Ruling and Replacement
The Eagles have ruled out Jalen Hurts for the home game against the Panthers because of a superficial blood clot in his calf. Tanner McKee is expected to start in his place. The decision followed a Wednesday ultrasound that showed movement in the clot.
Discovery and London Timeline
Hurts sought treatment after the October 4 game against the Rams. An ultrasound performed in London revealed the clot. Medical staff cleared him to play that Sunday after review, and he completed 21 of 40 passes for 220 yards and one touchdown in the 19-17 loss to the Jaguars. He had practiced in full earlier that week.
Season Numbers and Next Steps
Hurts has thrown for 933 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions this season. He has led the Eagles to two Super Bowl appearances and earned MVP honors in their 2024 championship win over the Chiefs. The team continues to monitor the calf and determine treatment.
