Hurts is dealing with blood clots in his lungs and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season while receiving treatment for that ailment. While his agent Nicole Lynn and the Eagles have expressed optimism about his future, there should be the highest level of concern about the 28-year-old as he navigates this serious medical situation.

Hurts was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his calf on October 10 in London and was cleared to play the next day; he played the full game against Jacksonville on October 11. A follow-up ultrasound on October 14 showed the clot had moved, leading to his being ruled out. On October 19, further tests revealed he now has deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli (multiple blood clots in both lungs). His treatment involves blood-thinning medicine and he is expected to miss the rest of the season, though he should make a full recovery. The source notes that the worst risk factor for recurrent embolisms is having had one previously, meaning Hurts will always have to bear blood clots in mind going forward.
