Coach Nick Sirianni's Philadelphia Eagles have an October 18 battle against Bryce Young's Carolina Panthers on tap and will start Tanner McKee at quarterback after he received a message from injured start Jalen Hurts. Hurts' superficial blood clot in his calf prompted a report on the situation and illuminated a deadline regarding his future injured reserve list status.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler joined Kevin Negandhi on Sportscenter to discuss the Hurts situation and revealed that a deadline is drawing near for the Eagles to make a key decision.
“(The Eagles) are in the process of determining whether he would have to go on short-term IR which he would have to do by tomorrow (October 17) afternoon,” Fowler said, adding that Eagles representatives are hoping Hurts won't have to go on IR.
