Philadelphia, PA, October 22, 2026 —
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in his lungs, ruling him out of the team’s upcoming Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Tanner McKee is expected to start in Hurts’ place, according to the information provided. The summary does not specify when Hurts received the diagnosis, how long he is expected to be unavailable, or whether the team has announced any further details about his condition.
Hurts’ absence comes as the Eagles contend with offensive struggles and a competitive NFC East division. The available information does not describe the nature or extent of those offensive difficulties, nor does it provide standings or other details about the division race.
The Cowboys matchup will therefore be the first game identified in which Hurts is unavailable because of the diagnosis. McKee is expected to take over at quarterback for that contest. No additional information was provided about other changes to the Eagles’ lineup or their plans beyond the expected start.
The diagnosis and game status are the only health-related details provided. There is no information about treatment, a recovery timetable, or when Hurts could return to play. The Eagles’ plans after the Week 7 game are also not specified.
