Pick Six: Jalen Hurts could be done for the year, plus Colts fire GM Chris Ballard and Commanders-49ers picks

The Indianapolis Colts made a swift organizational shift Monday, terminating general manager Chris Ballard just hours after the team’s 0-5 start and a loss to the Titans. Ballard, who had led the Colts’ front office since 2017, became the first casualty of a season that has already seen struggles on the field, with the move signaling broader unrest under owner Carli Irsay-Gordon.

The decision came less than 24 hours after the loss, underscoring the urgency of the situation as the Colts seek to rebuild momentum amid a dismal start to the campaign.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts faces an indefinite setback after blood clots were discovered in his lungs over the weekend. Diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, Hurts is now on blood thinners and barred from contact activity, including football, for an extended period.

The injury traces back to a Week 4 cleat-to-the-leg incident against the Rams, which led to complications during the team’s London stopover before the Jaguars game. With Hurts expected to miss multiple months, the Eagles now confront a critical offseason decision about their roster and quarterback situation.
