What happened: Philadelphia rules out quarterback Jalen Hurts for Sunday's home game after the team announced Thursday he has a superficial blood clot. Per ESPN Research cited by Ed Werder, the franchise has gone 59-28 (.678) in Hurts' starts since his 2020 debut compared to 6-12-1 under all other starting quarterbacks in that span.

Why it matters: The absence comes with Philadelphia already facing contender doubts and sitting below .500 entering a game for the first time since Week 15 of the 2021 season. Navigating a sub-.500 stretch without the offense's primary starter compounds the pressure on a roster already searching for offensive line help ahead of the trade deadline.

What to watch: Philadelphia hosts Sunday's Week 6 matchup with a backup quarterback set to start while the team monitors Hurts' status beyond this week.
