Philadelphia Eagles Face Quarterback Dilemma With Jalen Hurts Out Indefinitely

The Philadelphia Eagles’ already challenging season took a turn for the worse when it was announced that starting quarterback Jalen Hurts is dealing with a blood clot in his calf. This diagnosis means the 2-3 team will be without their QB1 for the upcoming game and potentially for a longer period, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport indicates he will be out indefinitely.

In light of this development, the Eagles may look to sign a veteran quarterback, including options such as Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, who could become available if they decide to start rookie Carson Beck. Other possibilities include free agent Jimmy Garoppolo, Kansas City Chiefs’ backup Justin Fields, and Indianapolis Colts’ Anthony Richardson Sr. There’s also a suggestion that retired quarterback Derek Carr, who has hinted at a desire to return to the game, could be a candidate. Finally, Shedeur Sanders of the Cleveland Browns may also be in play as the Eagles evaluate their options.
