Why It Matters

Hurts will undergo treatment involving blood thinners that will take him out for three months. Hurts is confirmed to have deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli which means that the blood clots spread from his legs to his lungs. Hurts is clinically stable without functional limitations but can’t participate in football activities while he is on the medication. Hurts originally had a superficial blood clot in his calf. Tanner McKee started in place of Hurts in the loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. this will be the first time that Hurts will miss greater than two games in a season since taking the reins as the Eagles starting quarterback in 2021.
