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.

BearsWalt's takeOct 18, 6:03 PM

Caleb Williams active for Bears after three-game absence

Caleb Williams is officially active for the Bears on Sunday after missing three games with a hamstring injury. He went 10-for-10 for 122 yards and a TD on his first two possessions.

Walt's take: I wrote in my power rankings this week that Caleb Williams can't get back on the field soon enough, and that I imagined he was going to miraculously feel better this week. Well, here we are. The Bears needed him after Tyson Bagent was so bad against the Packers that he was benched for Case Keenum, and Williams' expected return is why I didn't move Chicago down.
