STACKED’s take
Hurts' season ends after blood clots migrated from calf to lungs; Eagles under investigation.
Hurts suffered a season-ending injury involving blood clots that migrated from his calf to his lungs, diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and bilateral pulmonary emboli. The injury timeline began with a cleating to the calf on October 4 against the Rams; he reported calf discomfort to medical staff on October 8; imaging in London on October 10 revealed small superficial blood clots; he was cleared to play and did play in Week 5 against Jacksonville on October 11; follow-up imaging on October 14 showed the clots had moved; and further testing on October 19 confirmed migration to his lungs, ending his 2026 season. The Eagles' handling of the injury is under joint NFL/NFLPA investigation regarding whether protocols were properly followed, whether specialists diagnosed DVT before he played, and whether the transatlantic flight exacerbated his condition.
