Eagles fall to Panthers as team continues four-game losing streak
The Carolina Panthers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 25-14 October 16, 2026, as the Eagles played without quarterback Jalen Hurts, who had been placed on injured reserve because of a blood clot. The victory extended Philadelphia's losing streak to four games and lowered their record to 2-4. Earlier in the week, NBC Sports reported that doctors had identified a superficial clot in Hurts' calf, prompting his absence from the game.
Fox News later warned that the clot's movement could develop into a deep-vein thrombosis. The team subsequently moved Hurts to injured reserve, according to NBC Sports, sidelining him for at least four contests. Yahoo Sports said backup quarterback Tanner McKee would start in Hurts' place.
