Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 17, 2026 —
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been placed on injured reserve after a blood clot was found in his calf. He is expected to miss at least four games.
The available information does not specify when the clot was diagnosed, when Hurts was placed on injured reserve or which games he is expected to miss. It also does not identify who provided the expected absence estimate or describe any treatment or further medical details.
The report establishes the central details of the situation: Hurts is on injured reserve, the injury involves a blood clot in his calf, and his expected absence is a minimum of four games. It does not provide a return date, so the length of his absence beyond that minimum is not known from the information provided.
No information was provided about how the Eagles will address the quarterback position while Hurts is unavailable. The summary also does not state whether the team has announced any roster moves or provided additional comment.
Further details—including the timing of the injury, the specific games affected and any update to Hurts’ expected recovery—were not included in the information available for this report. Accordingly, the four-game estimate is the only timeline provided, and no further conclusions about his return can be drawn from it.
