There were no NFC East games on the field yesterday, but the division still shifted in a major way, led by significant quarterback news in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts lands on injured reserve
According to Pro Football Rumors, the Eagles have placed quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve due to a superficial blood clot in his calf. The outlet notes that the team consulted “numerous doctors and experts” before making the move, and that Hurts is now considered out indefinitely. For a Philadelphia team sitting at 2-3 in a wide-open NFC East, losing its starting quarterback is a major setback.
That move came after a brief window in which the message had been different. Pro Football Rumors, citing ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, and a separate report from CBS Sports had indicated the Eagles were not planning to put Hurts on IR, even though he was already ruled out for Sunday’s matchup with the Carolina Panthers while dealing with the superficial clot. CBS Sports also features a cardiologist explaining how Hurts’ condition differs from deep vein thrombosis, outlining standard treatment approaches and what could shape his return timetable.
At the same time, the Panthers are getting healthier. Pro Football Rumors reports that Carolina has activated right tackle Taylor Moton, running back Trevor Etienne and defensive end Tershawn Wharton from reserve lists ahead of their trip to face a depleted Eagles roster.
Dallas Cowboys: SNF showdown and staff dynamics
In Dallas (2-3), attention turns to prime time. CBS Sports bills Sunday night’s Cowboys–Packers showdown as a high-flying matchup between Dak Prescott and Jordan Love, noting that their Week 4 meeting in 2025 produced the highest-scoring tie of the Super Bowl era.
On the sideline, Pro Football Rumors reports that first-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker will remain on the field during games despite the recent hiring of veteran coach Mike Pettine as a senior assistant. The outlet notes that bringing in Pettine, Parker’s former boss in Green Bay, was something Parker himself had been considering, framing the move as added support rather than a direct challenge to his role. In a separate mailbag piece, Pro Football Rumors also explores potential trade scenarios involving Dallas if the NFC East continues to look vulnerable.
Washington Commanders and New York Giants: trade buzz and minor moves
For Washington (1-3), the focus is on the future of defensive tackle Daron Payne. Pro Football Rumors relays that ESPN’s Dan Graziano and The Athletic have identified Payne as a potential trade candidate. The former franchise-tagged lineman has spent his entire career with the Commanders so far, but that could change if Washington chooses to move him.
The New York Giants (3-1) remain relatively quiet but still appear in the transaction logs. Pro Football Rumors lists them among many teams making minor roster moves and standard practice-squad elevations ahead of Week 6, though the summary offers no specifics. Even without any games played, the NFC East’s balance was altered considerably by the Hurts decision and the growing trade chatter in Washington.
