What happened: Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss multiple months after new imaging over the weekend found several blood clots in his lungs. Hurts is now on blood thinners and is expected to have no long-term effects. He is unlikely to play again this season.

Why it matters: Losing the starting quarterback reshapes Philadelphia's offense for the stretch run. The Eagles must now stabilize the position while managing the roster through his absence.

What to watch: Philadelphia's quarterback plans and roster moves will clarify how the offense proceeds without Hurts.
