Eagles QB Jalen Hurts sidelined indefinitely with blood clots that could cost
him the season
PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will remain
sidelined indefinitely with blood clots that could cost him the rest of the
season.
Hurts was placed on injured reserve Saturday, two days after the Eagles
revealed he has a blood clot in his calf. He missed the first of at least four
games in the Eagles' loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
The Eagles and Hurts' agent, Nicole Lynn, released more information on his
condition Monday. They said Hurts has deep vein thrombosis and a bilateral
pulmonary emboli, meaning a blood clot has traveled from the legs to the lungs.
His treatment involves blood thinners and he will not be allowed to participate
in any football activities until he is off them.
The Eagles and Lynn said Hurts was expected to make a full recovery.
