Adam Schefter reports that the Philadelphia Eagles rule out quarterback Jalen Hurts due to a blood clot in his leg, via Tim McManus.

Hurts misses Week 6 after an ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot in his calf. He sustained the initial injury when he was stepped on during Week 5, and the team sits him as a precaution.

The Eagles host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Philadelphia plays without its starting quarterback for the matchup.
