What happened: Article 39 of the NFL collective bargaining agreement sets club obligations for an injured player with a developing health condition, now applied to Jalen Hurts. Philadelphia listed him out for Week 6.

Why it matters: Philadelphia's offense centers on its starting quarterback, raising stakes for any extended absence. How the club meets Article 39 obligations will shape availability and roster moves.

By the numbers: Hurts completed 294 of 454 passes for 3,224 yards with 25 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 16 games in 2025. Drafted 53rd overall in 2020 out of Oklahoma.

What to watch: Watch for Philadelphia's next injury designation and any roster move. Week 7 availability hinges on medical clearance.
