The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with an unprecedented situation with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts — and while they face tough questions about how he got hurt in the first place, his return is already a major concern.
According to a report from NFL on Prime’s James Palmer on Thursday night, it might be a while before Hurts can return from a blood clot in his leg.
“This is a very serious situation for Jalen Hurts,” Palmer said before Thursday night’s game between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. “I’m told there is currently no timeline for his return.”
Hurts has been incredibly durable throughout the first 6 seasons of his career but not infallible — he’s never missed more than 2 consecutive games due to injuries, with the last stint coming at the end of the 2024 season when he was in concussion protocol for the final 2 games of the regular season before returning to lead the Eagles to a win in Super Bowl LIX.
The Eagles will start longtime backup Tanner McKee against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6 — and possibly beyond.
