Jalen Hurts Diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Emboli, Out for Season

prayers for Hurts❤️ Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, meaning a blood clot formed in his leg and traveled to both of his lungs. The issue likely started from a calf injury he suffered after being stepped on by a cleat during an October 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Though initially monitored or treated as a more superficial issue, the clot broke free and migrated to his lungs following subsequent travel. Doctors placed him on blood thinners, which is expected to sideline him for at least three months and keep him out for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season. Despite the serious nature of the condition, team and medical updates note that he is clinically stable, is expected to make a full recovery without long-term effects, and will eventually be able to return to football activities once his treatment concludes
