Eagles Bench Jalen Hurts for Week 6 After Ultrasound Finds Moving Calf Blood Clot

Summary
Thursday’s update ruled Hurts out for Sunday against Carolina after a follow-up ultrasound Wednesday night showed movement in a small blood clot in his calf.
The Eagles had monitored the injury since Hurts was hurt against the Rams on Oct. 4, with Hurts previously describing the issue only as “very unique.”
Philadelphia enters Week 6 at 2-3 and on a three-game skid, most recently a 19-17 loss to Jacksonville in London on a last-second field goal.
The diagnosis adds a serious health concern to an Eagles team already dealing with injuries as it tries to halt its early-season slide.
