Eagles Rule Out Jalen Hurts for Week 6 as Follow-Up Scan Shows Blood Clot Moved

Summary
Philadelphia ruled Hurts out for Sunday’s Week 6 game against Carolina after a Wednesday follow-up ultrasound showed movement in a small superficial blood clot in his calf.
The issue traces to a cleat strike in Week 4; an ultrasound the next Thursday found the clot, doctors still cleared him for Week 5, and he kept receiving treatment for two more days.
Tanner McKee will start against the Panthers while the Eagles decide the next course of action, with no timetable yet given for Hurts’ return.
The uncertainty leaves open the possibility of a longer absence for the veteran quarterback as Philadelphia heads into Week 6.
