Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's contest against the Carolina Panthers after medical imaging detected shifting in a superficial blood clot in his calf.
The issue originated when Hurts was struck by cleats during a Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. A subsequent scan in London revealed the superficial clot, though medical personnel determined he could safely take the field for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, a follow-up ultrasound conducted Wednesday night indicated movement in the clot, prompting the team to sideline him while working through medical next steps.
With Hurts unavailable, third-year backup Tanner McKee is in line to start under center for Philadelphia.
