NFL finds Philadelphia Eagles committed no wrongdoing in Jalen Hurts blood clot saga – ‘was handled appropriately’

The NFL has determined that the Philadelphia Eagles committed no wrongdoing regarding their injury report policy in handling quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis. Hurts was ruled out for the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. The initial calf clot was discovered before Philadelphia's 19-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on October 11, but doctors cleared him to play after concluding activity was safe.

Subsequent tests revealed the blood clot had traveled to Hurts' lungs, leading to him being placed on blood thinners. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni emphasized that player health remains the team's top priority, while agent Nicole Lynn stated Hurts is expected to make a full recovery.
