- The Eagles diagnosed Hurts with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, saying he is clinically stable.
- Hurts last played October 11 in London during a 19-17 loss to Jacksonville and missed Sunday’s game against Carolina.
- Hurts is receiving blood thinners and cannot participate in contact activities, including football, for now.
- No exact return timeline has been set, but the Eagles expect no long-term effects.
Jalen's prognosis is very good, and we expect a full recovery. We anticipate that he will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners.
