The Philadelphia Eagles have placed quarterback Jalen Hurts on the injured reserve. Hurts will now be out for the next four weeks, and his earliest possible return is after the New York Giants travel to Philly to take on the Eagles in Week 9. While Hurts will be eligible to return following the Eagles' Week 11 bye, Adam Schefter reports that Hurts is considered sidelined indefinitely.

Hurts placed on IR with blood clot; could miss up to three months.

Jalen Hurts has been placed on injured reserve due to a blood clot that was originally caused by being cleated in an earlier game; he played through the injury in Week 5 against Jacksonville. Tests have since shown the clot has moved, prompting the IR placement. Hurts will be out for at least four weeks with earliest possible return after Week 9 against the Giants, though he is considered sidelined indefinitely. ESPN reports he could be treated with blood thinners over an average six-week course, but could potentially be sidelined for as long as three months, which would be effectively season-ending.
