Philadelphia Eagles franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in both of his lungs, according to reports.

The diagnosis requires a multi-month recovery on blood-thinning medication, a timeline that would sideline Hurts for the rest of the campaign and force Philadelphia to completely reshape its offensive identity.

The NFL Players Association has demanded a full investigation into the Eagles’ medical care, questioning the decision to play Hurts on Oct. 11 after he spent a significant portion of the preceding night in a hospital, according to the reports.

Hurts’ absence leaves the Eagles without their franchise quarterback for the stretch run of the season. The team will now turn to its backup quarterbacks as it tries to save its season in the NFC.
