JALEN HURTS DECLINES TO EXPLAIN CALF INJURY

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has declined to explain a calf injury that appeared on the team's practice report last week. The Eagles listed Hurts as a full participant in Friday's practice, ahead of the team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, with a calf designation attached. He carried no injury designation into Sunday's game, and the Eagles never listed him as questionable or doubtful beforehand. Asked about the injury during a press conference this week, Hurts said: "It was a very unique experience, to say the least." He added that he did not want to discuss "the details of kind of leading up to the game and whatnot."

Hurts said he had been "nicked up" during the Eagles' previous game against the Los Angeles Rams, days before the calf designation appeared on the injury report. Neither Hurts nor the Eagles have given further detail on what caused the issue or whether it required treatment. The quarterback's remarks on Wednesday marked his first public comment on the injury since the Eagles disclosed it the previous Friday. He did not say whether the issue was still affecting him.

Hurts and the Eagles have not explained the gap between Friday's calf designation and the absence of any designation by kick-off in London. It remains unclear whether Hurts received medical attention during the team's trip to London, and the Eagles have not issued an update on his condition since the game. His limited comments have left the exact nature and timing of the injury unclear. The Eagles have not made any further statement on the matter.
