Jalen Hurts is healthy and still playing quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he is coming off a particularly bad game rather than a major new injury or retirement.

Most recent situation

On Monday Night Football (December 8–9, 2025), Hurts had one of the worst games of his NFL career in a 22–19 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He completed 21 of 40 passes for 240 yards with no passing touchdowns, threw four interceptions, and lost a fumble, accounting for five total turnovers and a passer rating just over 30. On one bizarre play, he threw an interception, recovered a fumble on the return, and then fumbled himself, giving him two turnovers on a single snap, something noted as unprecedented in modern NFL recordkeeping.

Season and recent form

The loss to the Chargers extended the Eagles’ losing streak to three games and dropped them to 8–5, with the offense struggling compared to earlier in the year. Hurts had protected the ball well early in the season, but over his last two games he has piled up multiple interceptions and fumbles, raising questions about whether this is just a slump or a more serious regression from his prior Super Bowl–winning form.

Earlier recent injury

In December 2024, Hurts left a game against the Washington Commanders with a concussion in the first quarter, which snapped a long Eagles winning streak and briefly raised concern about his availability. He subsequently returned and continued to play, including leading the team into the 2025 season where the current struggles are about performance and turnovers rather than a new major injury.
