What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles do not have to make an immediate roster move on Jalen Hurts as they determine the course of action for his blood clot, per @jjones9 of The Athletic. That aligns with Saturday coverage indicating the Eagles do not plan to place Hurts on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Keeping Hurts on the active roster avoids a mandatory four-game absence while medical evaluations continue. Philadelphia had already ruled Hurts out on Friday for its Week 6 game.

What to watch: The Eagles will continue evaluating treatment options before deciding whether a formal roster transaction is necessary.
