Jalen Hurts out this week due to blood clot

[DCreppinBoysfan]

And Jalen, sit out the week after, too. Just to be sure.

Would it make a difference?

Scheffter saying Hurts had pain in his calf before the London game.
Could be out longer than this week.
Waiting to see if the clot moves. Probably on blood thinners as was posted above.

McKee back up QB to start.

It already moved. I cant imagine them not using an abundance of caution now.

 

[StarOfGlory]

Oh boy!

I hope the guy is ok. Blood clots are nothing to play with at all.

The Eagles are going through it right now. Injuries, bad coaching, poor execution, a horrible fan base, and now this.

The strange part of this is that the Eagles could be 4-1 if brain dead Sirianni kicked a field goal against the Rams and kicked the ball out of the end zone against the Jags.

I have respect for Jalen Hurts. My heart goes out to him and his family hoping for a speedy recovery. Some things are more important than sports. This is one of them.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I believe they released Dalton over a week ago.

You are correct. I missed that.

Against our D he may look like a gem!!!

They might flipping through the Rolodex for his phone number.

I hope Jalen will be good. He seems like a good person. Even though I hate the team he plays for.

I’m sure the doctors will get him the treatment he needs to be ok.

It’ll be interesting to see how this affects the season though. This could be something that keeps him off the field a while. The nfc east is even more wide open now.

Not a Hurts fan on any Philly level. But I wish him a speedy recovery. Get well soon -Hurts...God bless...

My understanding of blot clots is they need to stabilize. He'll get a shot of Lovenox and then they'd typically want him on a blood thinner for 3-6 months as their is a known provocation (cleat to calf.)

The blood thinner doesnt break up the clot, but prevents further clotting development. His body has to naturally break it down. The important thing now is the clot stabilizes in place. Apparently they detected movement afrer initially clearing him to play. He cant risk it further as the clot could work its way to the heart, lungs, or brain causing a heart attack, pulmonary embolism or stroke.

Im sure a doc can and will come along shortly and correct my "understanding" though.

Point is, he could be out awhile.

There's already rumors circulating that he may not be back next season anyway. If he's out a few games and they start losing don't be surprised if they shut him down for the season. It will be just up roseman Alley to start playing the tanking game.

 

[Jarntt]

Wow. I can't believe they cleared him to play last week.

 

[cald0d30s0]

Damn… Praying for him. Hope he gets better. God bless him.

Big news

damn poor guy

I didn't know that.

Man it seems like this happens too often now. Olave was another one. These guys are too young to be throwing clots. Eagles can suck it, but heal up.

Wonder if it’s due to some supplement and or illegal substance.

 

[big dog cowboy]

That really sucks. Hate to see that happen to Jalen or anybody. Blood clots are scary, even when they’re considered superficial. Hopefully they caught it early, and he can get the proper treatment and make a full recovery. His health has to come first, and hopefully this doesn’t turn into anything more serious.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Does this mean that Hurts is out for the season?

If you don't want an already-mobile blood clot to shift around more and block something critical, it seems like you'd have to avoid contact sports entirely.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Andy Dalton, lol! I wonder if they just bench him and go to Tanner McKee.

On October 9, 2026, Dalton was released by the Eagles.

 

[CWR]

Wonder if it’s due to some supplement and or illegal substance.

Probably not, however anything that affects hormone levels can be a trigger. I highly doubt that's the case though with nfl testing.

or the other elephant in the room which I will not mention
