Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for the rest of the 2026 season after physicians detected blood clots in his lungs, according to reports from ESPN and Fox Sports.
Hurts, who had previously been placed on injured reserve because of a leg clot, was diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary emboli and deep vein thrombosis following an earlier calf issue diagnosed in London, according to a joint statement from the team and agent Nicole Lynn detailed by Fox Sports. While Hurts is considered clinically stable with a favorable long-term outlook, his current blood-thinner treatment prevents him from engaging in contact sports.
Fox Sports also reported that the Eagles unsuccessfully pursued veteran quarterback Andy Dalton before he joined the Atlanta Falcons, leaving Tanner McKee to start under center as Philadelphia struggles through a four-game losing streak.
How outlets are covering this
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will sit out the remainder of the 2026 season to treat blood clots discovered in his lungs. Medical evaluations confirmed bilateral pulmonary emboli, leaving the struggling team to turn to backup Tanner McKee.
Shared reporting
- Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the season.
- Multiple blood clots were discovered in Hurts' lungs.
Different framing
- Fox Sports emphasizes the rapid escalation of Hurts' condition, describing the lung clots as 'more' or 'additional' clots discovered following an existing leg issue, whereas ESPN's summary introduces the discovery plainly without referencing his prior clot.
Why it matters
Losing their franchise quarterback for the year severely complicates Philadelphia's playoff hopes, compounding a four-game slump and testing the roster's depth behind backup Tanner McKee.
