Eagles are not being punished for handling of Jalen Hurts' blood clots, AP source says
The league said it found the Eagles acted appropriately after Hurts was diagnosed with blood clots and will not issue punishment.
- On Tuesday, the NFL Players Association called for a "full investigation" into the medical care provided to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was placed on injured reserve after blood clots were discovered in his lungs.
- Hurts informed medical staff of a calf injury after a London practice on October 11, three days before playing the Jacksonville Jaguars; a superficial clot diagnosis later revealed bilateral pulmonary embolisms upon his return home.
- NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills defended the Eagles' medical staff Tuesday, stating he had "tremendous confidence" in their actions and noting that league officials coordinated with independent doctors and the Cleveland Clinic throughout treatment.
- Despite union demands, the NFL concluded the situation "was handled appropriately" and will not discipline the Philadelphia Eagles, though the union maintains a "full investigation" is necessary to ensure player safety.
- With a prognosis described as "very good," Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season while on blood thinners, ending his campaign after leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last year.
