Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will not play in the team's Week 9 game against the New York Giants, according to reports from Pro Football Network. The announcement comes as the Eagles prepare for their divisional matchup at Lincoln Financial Field.
Details regarding the specific reason for Hurts' absence — whether due to injury, rest, or other factors — were not immediately disclosed in the initial report. The Eagles' coaching staff has not yet provided a detailed update on the quarterback's status or a timeline for his potential return.
Hurts, who has been the Eagles' starting quarterback since 2021, started the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on October 4, 2026, at Lincoln Financial Field. His absence in Week 9 marks a significant development for Philadelphia's offense as they face their NFC East rivals.
Backup quarterback options for the Eagles will likely be evaluated ahead of the game, with the team's game plan expected to adjust accordingly for the divisional contest.
