Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been sidelined after blood clots were found in his lungs, prompting a season‑ending health crisis. The NFLPA is demanding a full investigation into whether the team mishandled the situation, noting the league cleared Hurts in just two days. An ESPN source says GM Howie Roseman was "extremely hands‑on" and "worried about Hurts' health more than anything else," countering criticism that the organization endangered the player. Stephen A. Smith has slammed Roseman’s silence, while the NFL has yet to respond to the union’s probe.

The Bleeding Green Nation piece argues that the Philadelphia Eagles’ pass‑protection woes demand a tactical shift toward empty‑set formations. Using Fantasy Points Data Suite and NFL Pro stats, author Jonny Page shows that the Eagles are the only NFL team with a 0% success rate (0/18) on under‑center play‑action when blitzed, losing nearly a full expected point per attempt. While only 12 pressured snaps have occurred from empty formations, those plays yield the best production, especially in the intermediate range. Page suggests spreading the defense with empty sets could give Jalen Hurts or Tanner McKee clearer reads and quicker releases, even though it won’t solve every issue. The full analysis, including a Patreon video, breaks down the numbers and film examples.
Hall of Fame writer Ray Didinger launches his newest memoir, “Look What the Kid Wrote Today,” a anthology of behind‑the‑scenes stories spanning five decades of Philadelphia sports. The book revisits forgotten moments—from O.J. Simpson’s evolving legacy and a tense meeting with John du Pont, to anecdotes with Chuck Bednarik, Mean Joe Greene, Jack Nicklaus, Duane Thomas, Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. Didinger says the release was pushed from 2025 to 2026 after the Eagles’ 2024 Super Bowl win. Readers get rare access to personal interviews, locker‑room recollections and the cultural shift around CTE, making it a must‑read for fans of Philly sports lore.
The Dallas Cowboys travel to Philadelphia for a Week 7 Monday night NFC East clash, both teams sitting at 2‑4. The Eagles are now without quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after blood‑clot complications, leaving backup Tanner McKee to helm a struggling offense. McKee threw for 215 yards and a touchdown in a 25‑14 loss to the Panthers, but the Eagles still lack rhythm, especially with running back Saquon Barkley sidelined by a hamstring injury. Wide‑out DeVonta Smith remains a reliable target. Meanwhile, Dallas hopes to exploit Philadelphia’s transition while contending with a sturdy Eagles defense that has kept games close despite offensive woes.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Wednesday that the league will welcome a probe into the Philadelphia Eagles' handling of quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot and pulmonary embolism case. After the NFLPA demanded a review, Goodell said the league’s protocols were followed but will not block an independent investigation via the joint Accountability and Care Committee, which has 60 days to appoint neutral physicians. Hurts, 28, is on injured reserve and out for the rest of the 2026 season following a diagnosis that escalated from a superficial clot discovered on Oct. 10 in London to deep‑vein thrombosis with bilateral lung emboli. Eagles staff and the league’s medical chief defended the care provided, while the NFLPA stresses the need for a full review.
The Panthers head into a showdown with the Buccaneers after a solid win over the Eagles, aiming to extend their division lead. Key battles include Charlotte’s interior line versus veteran defensive tackle Vita Vea, Bryce Young against struggling linebacker Alex Anzalone, and Panthers linebackers Bobby Okereke and Devin Lloyd trying to contain Bucs running back Bucky Irving, who averages 4.7 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay may gamble on a thumb‑injured Baker Mayfield's return, creating turnover chances for the Panthers. With the Bucs sitting at 1‑5 and the Panthers on a two‑game streak, the matchup could swing momentum dramatically.
Philadelphia’s Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a healthy former Chiefs WR with 49 catches, 587 yards and five TDs last season, is reportedly a trade target for teams needing receiver help. Signed to a one‑year, $5 million deal, Brown has appeared in only one Eagles game with no catches and was a healthy scratch in the recent loss to Carolina. With the Eagles sitting 2‑4 and Jalen Hurts out, speculation grows that Philadelphia may move the 29‑year‑old before the Nov. 10 deadline, though his value is uncertain.
Mike Vrabel and Aaron Glenn faced off in Week 6, when the Patriots beat the Jets 26-19. Nick Sirianni’s Eagles also struggled that day, falling to the Panthers 25-14.

Smith accuses Roseman of avoiding responsibility for allowing Hurts back on the field, the travel decisions, and the lack of a medical spokesperson, urging the executive to address the media. The controversy highlights growing fan and pundit pressure on Eagles management.
Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho publicly accuses the Philadelphia Eagles’ medical staff of negligence after quarterback Jalen Hurts, cleared to play for the Oct. 11 London game, later developed deep‑vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. Hurts, initially diagnosed with a superficial calf clot following the Oct. 4 loss to the Rams, was placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the 2026 season.

Stephen A. Smith calls the news of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis "devastating," praying for his recovery and emphasizing the need for privacy. Hurts, sidelined for the rest of the 2026 season after deep‑vein thrombosis and lung clots were discovered, leaves Philadelphia scrambling—already hampered by injuries to DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley and a shaky O‑line. Smith doubts the Eagles can recover their championship hopes without their star QB, but remains optimistic about Hurts’ health prospects.

Bobby Okereke led the Panthers over Tanner McKee and the Eagles
The Eagles lost quarterback Jalen Hurts for the season, and the Cardinals have depth that could be targeted.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman trims the RB roster, waiving Jaydon Blue, Ian Wheeler and Carson Steele, hinting that Saquon Barkley may soon return from a hamstring injury that sidelined him since Week 4. Barkley has 182 rushing yards on 5.1 yards per carry this season, and his comeback could revive Philadelphia’s struggling ground game—currently fourth‑worst in the league and 0‑for‑18 on blitzed play‑action. With backup QB Tanner McKee set to start and a Thursday injury report due, the timing aligns before a crucial matchup against a Dallas defense that allows the most rushing yards in the NFL.
