What happened: Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season game due to a superficial blood clot in his calf, per Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. According to the team's statement, Hurts visited specialists on Thursday, October 8, and the clot was discovered Saturday.

Why it matters: Hurts' absence leaves Philadelphia without its starting quarterback during the 2026 regular-season slate as the offense navigates mounting personnel hurdles. The Eagles were already managing a key offensive hamstring injury alongside recent offensive line turnover entering the weekend.

What to watch: Philadelphia will turn to its backup quarterback option for Sunday's game while monitoring Hurts' medical status Ahead of Week 7.
