What happened: Jonathan Jones reports Philadelphia does not face an immediate roster decision on Jalen Hurts after ruling the quarterback out for Week 6 on Friday with a blood clot. In Cleveland, Jones notes that trading backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders makes little sense despite the 2025 fifth-round pick hiring Young Money APAA for representation on Oct. 14.

Why it matters: Philadelphia is taking time to determine the next steps for Hurts' recovery rather than rushing a transaction. Meanwhile, Green Bay awaits Micah Parsons' return from the PUP list to stabilize its pass rush ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

What to watch: The Eagles will evaluate Hurts' medical status beyond Week 6 before deciding on any injured reserve placement, while Cleveland holds onto Sanders as depth entering the midseason trade window.
