Since taking over as the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts has largely embodied that idea.The Super Bowl LIX MVP started all 17 games in 2023, missed two games with a concussion in 2024 and sat out Philadelphia’s regular-season finale that year as the Eagles rested most of their starters ahead of the playoffs.Backup quarterback Tanner McKee filled in for Hurts in Week 18 to close the 2025 season and will be called upon again this Sunday. Hurts has been ruled out by what the team has described as a superficial blood clot in his calf.FORMER NFL TEAM DOCTOR ADDRESSES JALEN HURTS’ BLOOD CLOT AS QB’S SEASON HINGES ON ONE KEY WORD Hurts was considered a full participant in Friday’s practice leading into this past Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, despite dealing with a calf injury.

U.S. Special Operations forces will adopt a new face and breathing protection system after the Pentagon and Avon Protection announced a contract on Oct. 9.The MITR half-mask and goggle system is designed to protect wearers from dangerous chemicals and toxic substances in the atmosphere, including lead powder from gunfire, ballistics and poisonous substances like fentanyl.Casey Galligan, Avon’s senior director for the U.S. Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, told Defense News that fentanyl and chemicals found in drug labs are now part of a wide array of hazards that special warfare operators must guard against, in addition to biological weapons and other breathing hazards. “Precursor drug chemicals now are a huge issue that are just as dangerous as a chemical hazard,” Galligan said. “As an operator, every day you’re doing something quasi-dangerous, particularly those at the frontline doing maneuver. This is not meant to replace a full-face respirator. A split system gives you options.” The half-mask system walks the line between an N-95 disposable mask and a heavy, full-face respirator.
