- The Eagles ruled Hurts out against Carolina on Sunday because of a superficial blood clot in his calf.
- The Eagles said the injury occurred Oct. 4 against the Los Angeles Rams after a cleat struck Hurts’s calf.
- A London ultrasound revealed the clot Saturday; doctors deemed activity safe, and Hurts played against Jacksonville.
- Wednesday’s ultrasound showed movement in the clot; treatment and a return timetable remain open, with Tanner McKee likely taking over.
Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.— Philadelphia Eagles, in a team statement about Hurts’ blood clot and return-to-play considerations
