What happened: NFL reporter Josina Anderson thanked readers on Sunday for following her independent coverage after her report that the Philadelphia Eagles would place quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve was confirmed. Anderson noted the operational challenges of working outside a network newsroom.

Why it matters: Philadelphia placed Hurts on injured reserve Saturday with a leg blood clot, sidelining the starting quarterback for at least four weeks amid a three-game losing streak.

What to watch: Hurts must miss at least four games on injured reserve before becoming eligible to return to the Eagles' active roster.
