What happened: Mike Garafolo addressed Jalen Hurts' blood-clot absence on GMFB. Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 on Friday. Philadelphia later placed its starting quarterback on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Philadelphia selected Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 53rd overall out of Oklahoma. An absence for an established starter reshapes preparation and depth at quarterback.

By the numbers: 2025 with Philadelphia: 16 games, 294-of-454 passing, 3,224 yards, 25 touchdowns, 6 interceptions.

What to watch: Upcoming injury designations and practice participation will clarify short-term plans at quarterback.
