Main Story: The NFL Players Association is demanding a full league investigation into the medical care Jalen Hurts received after reports that the Eagles knew he had a blood clot but allowed him to play. The league reportedly found Philadelphia handled the situation appropriately and did not plan to investigate. Hurts is now expected to miss the rest of the season after tests found deep vein thrombosis and multiple blood clots in his lungs.

By the Numbers
  • Hurts’ last game was Oct. 11, against Jacksonville in London.
  • He was ruled out for Week 6 after an ultrasound showed the clot had moved.
  • Further testing found multiple clots in his lungs.
Yes, But

The NFL reportedly concluded the Eagles acted appropriately, while the NFLPA says it has not been told of any league investigation and argues the facts must be established before conclusions are drawn. Accounts of what Hurts and the team knew—and whether he was told to stay awake before the game—have also shifted.

State of Play
  • The NFLPA is calling for a full investigation; the league reportedly had no plans to review the care.
  • The Eagles said they were in constant communication with the league about Hurts’ condition and updates before the game.
  • Hurts is sidelined indefinitely, with his season likely over.
Bottom Line

The dispute is no longer just about the Eagles’ decisions: it is also about whether the league will independently examine the medical care and clarify what was known before Hurts played.
