NegativeInjuryOct 27, 2026
Hurts received an INC grade due to blood clots in his lungs requiring Injured Reserve placement; the minute he was placed on IR was the minute the Eagles' season ended. When healthy, he is a quality quarterback, even if he has struggled to get the offense over the hump the past two seasons. All reports indicate he will be OK, and his long-term health is the primary focus.NegativeInjuryOct 23, 2026
Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the year due to blood clots found in his lungs; while he is expected to make a full recovery, the Eagles' playoff hopes are effectively ended, as they lack viable quarterback depth for the remainder of the season.NegativeInjuryOct 20, 2026
The Philadelphia Eagles allowed Hurts to play in London with a superficial blood clot in his left calf, keeping him awake for 36 hours for fear the clot could travel to his lungs and kill him, then permitted him to play a football game where hard contact to his leg could have dislodged the clot and been fatal. The source states the Eagles' decision to green-light him to play cost Hurts' season and possibly his career, and calls for accountability.NegativeInjuryOct 20, 2026
Eagles QB suffered a season-ending blood clot issue; the source notes that while things were already trending in the wrong direction before this injury, it feels like 'the straw that broke the camel's back' for a team that has been 'about as bad as it gets' on the field since their unconvincing 2-0 start.NegativeInjuryOct 16, 2026
Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday with a blood clot in his leg. The source expresses concern about the severity of the injury, stating 'I'm no doctor but that doesn't sound good' and offering best wishes for a quick and complete recovery, indicating significant health concern and availability impact.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Hurts ranks 15th; the Eagles may have a Jalen Hurts problem. He has a low completion percentage and rarely pushes the middle of the field, posting one of the lowest Y/A at 6.1. The Eagles are building draft capital in 2028, and it's not impossible they could pursue a new QB if Hurts doesn't improve.NegativeProjectionOct 13, 2026
Eagles QB performance has declined since midpoint of last season; source states 'Quarterback Jalen Hurts hasn't looked the same,' and despite Philadelphia's talent on both sides of the ball, the team isn't playing as well as expected, raising concerns about the offense's trajectory.NegativeInjuryOct 1, 2026
Took a hit from D'Marco Jackson on the sideline in the second quarter that caused him to leave the field for concussion protocol evaluation; he was cleared and returned to the game later in the quarter.NegativeMatchupSep 29, 2026
Philadelphia quarterback held to 42 passing yards, one interception, and 50% completion percentage in the second half by Bears defense; part of a second-half shutout performance by Chicago's defense under coordinator Dennis Allen.PositiveRoleSep 28, 2026
Eagles quarterback whose passing game has looked strong through two games alongside wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and DeVonta Smith, even without A.J. Brown in the lineup; the source notes the Eagles' passing attack has performed well despite missing their top receiver.NegativeMatchupSep 27, 2026
Eagles QB projected to face defensive pressure and turnovers in one Caleb Williams prediction; specifically projected to throw an interception to JJ and be sacked by Booker in Bears' defensive game plan.PositiveMatchupSep 27, 2026
Jalen Hurts is a three-time Pro Bowler dual-threat quarterback facing the Bears defense on Monday night; his elite dual-threat capability presents a tough matchup challenge for Chicago's defense, which is relevant for Bears defensive fantasy value and opposing offensive upside.NegativeMatchupSep 25, 2026
Eagles QB's rushing ability remains a key factor in sustaining drives despite reduced run frequency compared to prior seasons. Bears defense must contain Hurts' mobility, maintain deep discipline, and force the Eagles to work through the ground game and short-level passing rather than allowing him to extend plays with his legs.PositiveProjectionSep 25, 2026
Jalen Hurts is playing some of the best football of his career through two games. He has been the Eagles' best player and has had to bail out an uneven offense that struggles on early downs and with run efficiency. If Hurts continues on his current trajectory, he will easily earn a new contract extension after this season, if not sooner. Brandon Gowton is not betting against Hurts right now since he looks pretty good.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Hurts is playing well in his seventh different NFL offense with a 64.5% completion percentage, 467 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions through two games; he remains effective as a rusher with 12 carries for 62 yards, providing dual-threat upside despite the Eagles offense ranking 13th in points and yards overall.PositiveProjectionSep 23, 2026
Has 63 rushing touchdowns in two fewer seasons than Josh Allen, which the source uses to argue that touchdown volume alone does not determine rushing quarterback greatness; the source questions whether Hurts should be considered the third-best rushing QB of all time based on this metric.NegativeProjectionSep 21, 2026
Jalen Hurts has been OK through two games, but turned the ball over twice against the Titans; the Eagles are 2-0 despite not looking great in either game, and their offense still feels like something is missing despite the defense doing its job.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
Eagles quarterback and the passing attack as a whole have yet to show the same level of performance; despite scoring 24 points in Week 1, the offense's lack of killer instinct should concern folks even after bringing in yet another offensive coordinator.NegativeProjectionSep 12, 2026
The source ranks the Philadelphia Eagles 12th and notes that 2026 is 'a big year for Jalen Hurts; if he struggles, his future here may be in doubt.' This indicates the Eagles are giving Hurts a prove-it year, with his performance determining his long-term tenure with the franchise.NegativeProjectionSep 11, 2026
Ranked #12 overall; 2026 is a big year for Hurts; must play well without AJ Brown and with new offensive coordinator; needs to attack middle of field and demonstrate he's still a field general.
