Jalen Hurts blood clot diagnosis timeline: Where the situation started, how it developed and what now

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2026 campaign after medical evaluations revealed blood clots in his lungs. The issue originated from a calf injury sustained during an October 4th matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, which later escalated despite initial medical clearance for him to continue playing.

Following a trip to London for an October 11th game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, further testing confirmed the severity of his condition. Hurts is currently undergoing treatment with blood thinners and is expected to make a full recovery, though his absence has sparked scrutiny regarding the team's handling of his medical status.
