Prayers Up! Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts To Sit Out Sunday’s Game Due To Blood Clot In Leg

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback #JalenHurts will be sitting out Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers after doctors discovered movement in a blood clot in his leg.

According to a statement from the #Eagles, Hurts initially sought treatment for a calf injury he suffered after being cleated during the team’s October 4 matchup against the #LosAngelesRams. An ultrasound later revealed a superficial blood clot, but doctors determined he could safely continue playing. The quarterback went on to compete without restrictions in Sunday’s game and returned to practice Wednesday.

However, a follow-up ultrasound that night revealed that the clot had moved, prompting the team to pull him out of the upcoming matchup. “Jalen will be out for Sunday’s game vs. the #Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment,” the Eagles said, adding, “His health and safety are our highest priority.”
