What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles are not planning to place quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, per Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. Hurts was ruled out on Friday for Sunday's game because of a superficial calf blood clot.

Why it matters: Keeping Hurts on the active roster preserves his eligibility to return as soon as he is medically cleared during the 2026 regular season.
