NFLPA calls for ‘full investigation’ into Eagles QB Hurts’ medical care

The NFL Players Association has called for a full investigation into the medical care provided to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The union's statement follows reports that the league does not plan to punish the Eagles or review how Hurts was cleared to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the season after doctors later discovered multiple blood clots in his lungs.

NFL officials, including chief medical officer Allen Sills, strongly defended the medical process and termed the Eagles' care conservative and player-focused. Hurts was originally diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London before subsequent examinations in Philadelphia revealed deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni maintained complete faith in the team's medical staff throughout the process.
