Jalen Hurts’ “unique” injury has been revealed — and it could be serious.

The Eagles announced on Thursday that Hurts is dealing with a blood clot in his calf that will sideline him at least for Sunday’s game against the Panthers.

The team had been aware of the injury after it was suffered in a matchup against the Rams on Oct. 4.

However, the team said that “on Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot.”

The Eagles are 2-3 and coming off three straight losses, including a heartbreaking 19-17 loss to the Jaguars in London on Sunday on a last-second field goal.

Hurts had ducked questions about the injury prior to Thursday, just calling it “very unique.”
