From the episode
Jalen Hurts has been ruled out Sunday due to a superficial blood clot... they found this blood clot prior to last week. He mentioned that he had like calf soreness and apparently blood clots... you cannot play a contact sport where there are multiple car wrecks per game with blood thinners.
STACKED’s take
Hurts ruled out Week 6 with blood clot; timeline unclear, could be season-ending.
Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Panthers due to a superficial blood clot. According to Ian Rappaport's reporting, the blood clot was found prior to last week; Hurts had calf soreness that typically precedes blood clots. Blood clots can move into different organs, especially the lungs, requiring players to go on blood thinners—which prevents them from playing contact sports due to the risk of multiple car wrecks per game. The timeline for Hurts' return depends on how long he remains on blood thinners and whether the clot moves to different areas. Recent examples include Christian Barmore and Taylor Moten (Panthers), who dealt with blood clots; Moten was sidelined starting in May or June and is just returning this week. This could potentially be season-ending.
