Hurts will miss most of this year after a middling five games due to an undisclosed condition with unknown treatment timeline. His contract status complicates matters further; with limited guarantees beyond this year, it's hard to imagine him playing for the Eagles in 2027 without a new or reworked deal. The source questions whether the Eagles are ready to commit to a new deal when he'll miss most of the season after just five games.

Source raises concerns about Hurts' long-term health and durability, noting the Eagles won't discuss it publicly; with limited guarantees beyond this year and Hurts missing most of the season after a middling five-game start, there are questions about whether the Eagles would give him a new contract; source speculates the Eagles could draft a quarterback in the first round (6th pick) if concerned about Hurts being healthy enough to play in 2027 and beyond.

Hurts suffered a season-ending injury involving blood clots that migrated from his calf to his lungs, diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and bilateral pulmonary emboli. The injury timeline began with a cleating to the calf on October 4 against the Rams; he reported calf discomfort to medical staff on October 8; imaging in London on October 10 revealed small superficial blood clots; he was cleared to play and did play in Week 5 against Jacksonville on October 11; follow-up imaging on October 14 showed the clots had moved; and further testing on October 19 confirmed migration to his lungs, ending his 2026 season. The Eagles' handling of the injury is under joint NFL/NFLPA investigation regarding whether protocols were properly followed, whether specialists diagnosed DVT before he played, and whether the transatlantic flight exacerbated his condition.

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.
