Eagles face tough decisions after placing Jalen Hurts on injured reserve
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles are grappling with Jalen Hurts' placement on injured reserve due to a blood clot issue, which will sideline him for at least the next four games. This situation has prompted discussions around the possibility of the Eagles trading valuable players before the November 10 trade deadline. Sports analyst Jimmy Kempski suggests that retooling for the future may now be a 'no-brainer' move for the organization. Several players, including Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert, could potentially be on the trade block as the team assesses its 2026 playoff aspirations after a rough start to the season.
