Jalen Hurts ruled out of London game against Panthers due to calf blood clot
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers in London because of a superficial blood clot in his calf.
Injury timeline and discovery details
Hurts suffered a calf injury during the Eagles' Week Four loss to the Los Angeles Rams on October 4. He received initial treatment after practice on Thursday, October 8, before practicing in full on Friday. An ultrasound performed on Saturday following the team's flight to London revealed movement in the clot.
Medical staff assessment and decision
Doctors reviewed the results and initially concluded that activity and mobility were important for the player. The medical team recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia. Despite this recommendation, Hurts was listed as having no injury designation before the Saturday scan confirmed the issue.
