Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made an appearance at the team's practice facility on Wednesday, marking the first time players had seen him since being placed on injured reserve due to blood clots in his lungs. Hurts sat in on team meetings but did not address the group, though his presence provided a morale boost. Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed ongoing communication with Hurts, stating he is resting and recovering, but offered no timeline for return.
Hurts, 28, was originally diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London before the Eagles' Week 5 game. After the clot moved, he was placed on IR on Oct. 17. His treatment involves anticoagulation "blood thinners," preventing contact activities. Tanner Mc Kee went 0-3 as a replacement, and Joe Milton has been signed to replace Hurts in the lineup. The Eagles, seeking to end a six-game losing streak, host the division-leading New York Giants on Sunday.
