BREAKING: Eaglesโ QB Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday due to a superficial blood clot, according to @RapSheet
Full statement from the Eagles:
ย
โOn Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf. He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practiceย report.

โOut of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the teamโs flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.
