Dotson on former teammate Jalen Hurts' health: Anything like that that people have to deal with, it's bigger than footba Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Dotson called Hurts' blood-clot issue bigger than football and wished him a speedy recovery. Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 before Philadelphia moved him to injured reserve.

Why it matters: The absence sidelines Philadelphia's starting quarterback for at least four weeks and forces a depth adjustment. Hurts exited the lineup during the Week 6 schedule as the Eagles added a running back to the roster.

By the numbers: Ruled out Week 6; placed on injured reserve Oct. 17 with minimum four-week absence.

What to watch: Watch who starts at quarterback during the absence and when Hurts is eligible to return.
