What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles officially placed quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve Saturday and signed running back Jaydon Blue to the active roster. The move follows medical consultations regarding a blood clot in Hurts' leg that already ruled him out for Week 6.

Why it matters: Placing Hurts on injured reserve requires him to miss at least four games, reversing Philadelphia's earlier hold on a roster decision while evaluating the blood clot. The Eagles enter the stretch having dropped three straight games this season, while Blue joins the active backfield after being selected 149th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.

What to watch: Hurts will be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks on injured reserve as Philadelphia reshapes its active roster for Week 6.
