Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is reportedly being shut down for the remainder of the NFL season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in his lungs. NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport has reported that the treatment process will take at least three months, which would sideline the signal caller for the rest of the year.

The Eagles released a joint statement with Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, laying out the details of the quarterback’s diagnosis and the process of recovery. Hurts has been diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli, which involve multiple blood clots in the lungs.

“Jalen was initially diagnosed by specialists in London with a left calf superficial vein thrombosis. After further testing and monitoring, the current diagnosis is a deep vein thrombosis, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli,” the statement read. “He is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations. His treatment should only involve anticoagulation (i.e. “blood thinners”). During this time, he will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities, including football.

“Jalen’s prognosis is very good, and we expect a full recovery. We anticipate that he will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners.”

The joint statement did not specifically indicate that Hurts would miss the remainder of the season, but NFL insider Adam Schefter, among many others, is reporting that he is done for the year.

The unfortunate update about Hurts’ health comes after the Eagles discovered a blood clot in the quarterback’s leg before the team’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 11 in London.

The team and medical personnel determined that Hurts could play against Jacksonville, which he did, in what was a 19-17 loss. According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, the discovery of the blood clot in Hurts’ leg was superficial, and with that, doctors told him not to sleep.

Hurts made the start against Jacksonville after reportedly being awake for roughly 36 straight hours.

The 28-year-old practiced with the Eagles this past week, but a follow-up ultrasound revealed that there was “movement in the small blood clot,” which ruled him out for the Eagles’ road loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Hurts is expected to make a full recovery, according to the team’s joint statement, which also noted that there is anticipation that he will have no long-term effects.
