FalconsOct 19, 5:30 PM

Falcons activate CB A.J. Terrell off IR

Kevin Stefanski said things are trending in the right way for CB AJ Terrell to be designated for a return from IR. The Falcons are trending toward opening the window for Terrell this week.

Our Take: Getting Terrell back would help a Falcons team that has fallen to 2-4. The good news for Atlanta is that it still has a decent chance to win its horrible division.

EaglesWalt's takeOct 19, 3:23 PM

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts expected to miss rest of season with blood clots in lungs

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli. He is now on blood thinners.

Walt's take: I wrote this week that the Eagles have no hope with Tanner McKee in their backfield. However, they have far greater concerns with Jalen Hurts' blood clot. They won't be doing much winning for the rest of the year.
