Injuries
Jalen Hurts, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is expected to be sidelined for multiple months after new imaging revealed several blood clots in his lungs. He is currently on blood thinners and while there should be no long-term effects, it is unlikely he will return this season, according to reports.
Terry McLaurin has been carted off the field with what is feared to be a season-ending knee injury. His absence would be a significant blow for the Washington Commanders if confirmed.

The San Francisco 49ers have ruled out wide receiver Mike Evans for the remainder of a recent game after he limped off the field attempting to make a catch.
