What happened: Jalen Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 with a superficial blood clot diagnosed in London. Doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, per Tom Pelissero, and Ed Werder credited Hurts for putting his team first.

Why it matters: Philadelphia enters Week 6 of the 2026 regular season without its starting quarterback. The timing matters as the Eagles retool their offense around Hurts.

By the numbers: Hurts completed 294 of 454 passes for 3,224 yards with 25 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 16 games in 2025, per ESPN.

What to watch: Philadelphia's quarterback plan and any medical clearance updates will shape Week 7 preparation.
