PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles are prepared to bring back quarterback Jalen Hurts this season under one specific condition as the franchise navigates his recent blood clot diagnosis, according to accounts compiled from Accredited Wire Reports.
The medical situation surrounding the starting quarterback has generated significant updates across league reporting, with varying details emerging regarding the location of the clots and his immediate playing status.
Medical Diagnoses and Roster Moves
Reporting from ESPN indicated that Hurts was expected to be out for the season after blood clots were discovered in the quarterback's lungs. Yahoo Sports also detailed that the Eagles announced Hurts had been diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs, reporting the condition would keep him sidelined for the campaign.
However, separate coverage from NFL.com reported that the Eagles placed Hurts on injured reserve due to a superficial blood clot located in his calf. The team moved him to the reserve list while monitoring his recovery and evaluating their options at the quarterback position.
Quarterback Plans and Potential Return
Despite severe diagnoses suggesting an extended absence, Fox News reported that the Eagles could still bring Hurts back onto the active field under one condition before the season concludes. The exact medical thresholds and criteria required for his return remain closely monitored by team medical personnel.
With Hurts shifted to injured reserve, team leadership began exploring alternatives to stabilize the offense. Reporting from NFL.com noted that the Eagles sought to bring in a familiar quarterback to manage the roster during Hurts' absence while the medical staff continues to evaluate his recovery timeline.
