Jalen Hurts’ recovery comes first. What’s next for his Eagles future?

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli. Hurts is currently sidelined while being treated with blood thinners. His agent, Nicole Lynn, announced in a joint statement that a full recovery is expected with no anticipated long-term effects once he finishes treatment.

The health scare clouds Hurts' future in Philadelphia amid significant offensive struggles under first-time coordinator Sean Mannion. Hurts is in the third year of a five-year, $255 million contract, with his guarantees set to decrease to $22 million after this season. Meanwhile, backup Tanner McKee has taken over starting duties following a 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
