Eagles are not being punished for handling of Jalen Hurts' blood clots, AP source says
The league said team doctors and independent specialists handled the case appropriately as Hurts remains on blood thinners and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
- On Tuesday, the NFL announced it will not investigate or punish the Philadelphia Eagles for their medical handling of quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis, concluding the process was handled appropriately.
- Following an ultrasound in London on October 10 that revealed a superficial calf clot, medical staff cleared Hurts to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars; subsequent scans identified deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli.
- NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills expressed "tremendous confidence" in the team's medical staff, while the league clarified reports suggesting Hurts was forced to stay awake for 36 hours were "misinformation."
- The NFL Players Association challenged the league's stance Tuesday night, calling for a "full investigation" into the medical care provided to Hurts to ensure player safety going forward.
- Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season while on blood thinners, though team reports anticipate a "full recovery" after at least three months and eventual return to contact football activities.
