The Philadelphia Eagles will be without star quarterback Jalen Hurts on Sunday after the team released a statement about his health early Thursday afternoon.
The Eagles released an official statement saying Hurts’ latest calf injury has progressed to a “movement in the small blood clot” on Wednesday’s most recent ultrasound.
In Philly’s statement, team officials said they have yet to determine the appropriate course of action, but that Hurts’ “health and safety are our highest priority.”
“On Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf. He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practice report.”
“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.”
“Jalen played without limitation in the game Sunday, received treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and practiced in full on Wednesday, as reflected in the practice report. Throughout our time in London and this week, we have remained in communication with the league office regarding the matter.”
“On Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot. Jalen will be out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment. His health and safety are our highest priority.”
The Eagles are expected to play the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, but they will unfortunately be railroaded by the absence of their leader.
