Jalen Hurts expected to return in 2027 after recovery from health issue
Summary

Jalen Hurts is expected to make a full recovery from a blood clot by January or February 2027. Fantasy managers have questions about Hurts' performance, particularly as he transitions into his late 20s. Historical data shows a decline in his rushing attempts, which are crucial for his success as a dual-threat quarterback. Hurts averaged 10.0 carries per game in 2024, but this dropped to 4.6 in five starts this season. The Eagles’ upcoming schedule includes tough defenses, adding more uncertainty to his potential future production.
