Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback’s lungs, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Hurts will undergo treatment for the blood clots that will take at least three months, according to Rapoport. Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, and the Eagles released a statement Monday detailing Hurts’ medical status. Hurts is “clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations,” according to the statement from Lynn and the Eagles, but will not be allowed to participate in football activities while on anticoagulation medication. After initially being diagnosed with a superficial clot in his calf, Hurts underwent further examination that revealed “a deep vein thrombosis, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli,” according to the statement. “Jalen’s prognosis is very good, and we expect a full recovery,” the statement said. “We anticipate that he will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners. In the meantime, he will remain active around the team and continue to condition.

Jalen Hurts' future in Philadelphia is now a question mark - TSN

Jalen Hurts has faced questions about his passing efficiency, willingness to run and leadership ability despite winning one Super Bowl MVP award and leading the Philadelphia Eagles to two NFC championships. He faces a challenge bigger and more serious than silencing critics and quieting fickle fans. Hurts has a blood clot in his calf and has to miss at least one game. His health is the top priority now. But the NFL is a business and Hurts’ availability for the remainder of the season is in doubt so it’s fair to wonder about his future in Philadelphia. The 28-year-old quarterback is in the middle of a $255 million, five-year contract that runs through 2028. However, his guaranteed money drops from $51.5 million this season to $22 million next year to zero in 2028. Because the Eagles didn’t restructure his contract to add more guaranteed money after this year, this was viewed as a make-or-break season for Hurts. It seems unfair that a player with Hurts’ resume needed to prove himself again but that’s been the narrative surrounding him since his college days. Hurts was famously benched by Nick Saban at halftime of the national championship game on Jan. 8, 2018.
