Breaking: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday due to a superficial blood clot. Full statement from the #Eagles on Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles ruled out quarterback Jalen Hurts for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers after a Wednesday night ultrasound revealed movement in a small superficial blood clot. Hurts first requested calf treatment on Oct. 8 after being cleated during the Oct. 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams, and a Saturday scan in London initially detected the clot. Team doctors and London medical staff cleared him to play without limitation on Sunday before the scheduled 72-hour follow-up ultrasound prompted the club to hold him out.

Why it matters: Sidelines Jalen Hurts after he logged full practices on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last week as well as Wednesday of this week. Philadelphia remained in communication with the league office throughout the London trip and return to Philadelphia while monitoring the calf condition.

What to watch: Philadelphia's medical staff will determine the course of treatment for Hurts ahead of Sunday's matchup against Carolina.
