Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts faces a significant health setback after doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs, preventing him from participating in contact sports while he undergoes treatment. The 28-year-old has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and bilateral pulmonary emboli, potentially life-threatening conditions that require prompt medical attention.
The Eagles and Hurts' agent, Nicole Lynn, confirmed the diagnosis on Monday, 19 October 2026. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that he is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
