Eagles QB Jalen Hurts out indefinitely due to blood clot

Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Jalen Hurts is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a "superficial blood clot". The team sits at 2-3 ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Despite the injury, analysts suggest the Eagles can still make a playoff push thanks to their defensive strength and a favorable division. Hurts' backups Tanner McKee and Cole Payton may need to step up while the team hopes for the return of other injured offensive players, including receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Saquon Barkley. Coach Nick Sirianni's squad could still compete for the NFC East title this season.
