{"id":706,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/706","headline":"Jalen Hurts ruled out vs. Panthers with blood clot in calf","dek":"The injury traces back to a cleat to the calf against the Rams in Week 4, and a follow-up ultrasound showing movement in the clot has sidelined Hurts out of caution.","body":"The Eagles have ruled out quarterback Jalen Hurts for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers after an ultrasound revealed movement in a small blood clot in his calf. The team says the issue originated on October 4th, when Hurts was cleated in the calf during Philadelphia's game against the Rams.\n\nAccording to the Eagles' statement, Hurts first sought treatment for the calf on Thursday, October 8th, after practicing in full earlier in the week. He told medical staff he'd been cleated during the Rams game. Despite the injury, Hurts played without limitation the following week in London against the Jaguars, then received treatment and practiced in full through Wednesday.\n\nAn ultrasound performed Wednesday night showed movement in the small blood clot, prompting the team to rule him out of an abundance of caution. The clot has been described as superficial. Hurts will miss at least the Panthers game, with the full timeline for his return still unclear.","published_at":"2026-10-15T23:35:54.461229+00:00","source_count":8,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams may have inadvertently derailed Jalen Hurts’ season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rams-may-inadvertently-derailed-jalen-200000570.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts blood clot: What is a superficial blood clot and how long could Eagles' QB be out","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jalen-hurts-what-is-superficial-blood-clot-how-long-eagles-qb-out/"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Philadelphia Eagles Detail Blood Clot In QB Jalen Hurts' Calf","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/jalen-hurts-injury-panthers-eagles-schedule-tanner-mckee"},{"outlet":"SB Nation","publisher":"SB Nation","title":"Jalen Hurts to miss Week 6 due to blood clot","url":"https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/1132560/jalen-hurts-blood-clot-week-6-game-status-backup-qb-vs-panthers"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jalen Hurts ruled out of Eagles vs. Panthers with superficial blood clot","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7693074/2026/10/15/jalen-hurts-superficial-blood-clot-eagles/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Eagles QB Hurts ruled out vs. Panthers with blood clot","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50189940/eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-ruled-vs-panthers-blood-clot"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Jalen Hurts suffers blood clot that forces him to Eagles bench","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/15/sports/jalen-hurts-suffers-blood-clot-that-will-sideline-him-for-at-least-one-game/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday with a blood clot in his leg","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jalen-hurts-is-out-for-sunday-with-a-blood-clot-in-his-leg"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles QB Jalen Hurts shares injury update at Wednesday press conference","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-shares-221550767.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles QB Jalen Hurts confirms calf injury suffered against the Rams in Week 4","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-confirms-055015293.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles rule out Jalen Hurts vs. Panthers due to superficial blood clot","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-rule-jalen-hurts-vs-170647350.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts injury update from Eagles confirms QB is out for Week 6","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jalen-hurts-injury-eagles-confirms-170834982.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts will miss Eagles-Panthers game due to “superficial blood clot”","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jalen-hurts-miss-eagles-panthers-171248821.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts ruled out for Eagles due to blood clot.
