Quick Summary

Jalen Hurts, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, will likely sit out the remainder of this NFL season due to a more serious medical condition than previously announced. Initially placed on injured reserve with a blood clot issue, his agent revealed that Hurts has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms in both lungs, making it too risky for him to play. Nate Burleson provided the report.

Story summary

Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback, was placed on injured reserve due to a blood clot discovered in his calf after playing through pain against the Los Angeles Rams and later the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Initially diagnosed with a superficial blood clot on October 10, further testing revealed more serious conditions including deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, forcing him to miss at least four games and possibly the rest of the season. The team's decision to let Hurts play despite the initial diagnosis has raised concerns about player safety in the NFL.
