For the remainder of the 2026 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be without their star quarterback, Jalen Hurts.
What was initially considered to be calf soreness turned out to be a much more serious diagnosis, which will require at least a three-month recovery for Hurts.
As more information about the situation surfaces, it’s making fans and media wonder if Jalen Hurts could lose trust in the Eagles–specifically the medical team and the front office–since the star quarterback ended up playing in a game with a blood clot.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was asked about it on Tuesday, October 20.
Did Jalen Hurts Lose Trust In Eagles? Nick Sirianni Addresses Big Question
During a 13-minute segment on 94WIP on Tuesday, Sirianni addressed questions ranging from Jalen Hurts to fixing the offensive woes.
When asked whether Jalen Hurts lost trust in the Eagles or not, Sirianni made an assumption–but refused to speak for his quarterback.
“I will never speak for any player or any person. I can only speak for myself. Obviously, Jalen and I have talked throughout this, and you know, I feel good about where Jalen and I’s relationship is and where it stands,” Sirianni said.
“Again, I can’t speak for anybody, but no, I don’t believe so. You guys will, at some point, talk to him and you guys can get it from him.”
What’s Next For Jalen Hurts And The Eagles?
For the time being, Hurts will patiently recover.
Meanwhile, the Eagles will continue to try and take advantage of a struggling NFC East division.
Without the star quarterback, the Eagles obviously take a hit, but the Eagles hope to find some stability with Tanner McKee, who they’ve been developing over the past few seasons.
As for the relationship between Hurts and the Eagles, it’s unclear where the quarterback stands. As Sirianni suggests, Hurts will eventually speak on his own terms. For the time being, all parties are simply focused on his recovery.
