The Philadelphia Eagles have already dealt with a ton of adversity so far this season. Philadelphia has watched Lane Johnson's sudden retirement on top of a mountain on significant injuries. Now the Eagles will be forced to play without their franchise quarterback in their next game.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will not play against the Panthers in Week 6 because of a superficial blood clot injury, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Philadelphia apparently knew about the blood clot before their Week 5 matchup against Jacksonville. However, a follow-up ultrasound showed movement in Hurts' blood clot.

Rapoport declared that Hurts should be out until the medical situation is solved. Until then, backup Tanner McKee will take his place as the team's starting quarterback.
