NFL investigates Jalen Hurts blood clot case

The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles are under scrutiny following the medical handling of quarterback Jalen Hurts’ blood clot diagnosis. Hurts was cleared to play after initial ultrasounds showed a clot in his calf, but a follow-up ultrasound revealed it had moved to his lungs, leading to his placement on injured reserve and ruling him out for the season. The NFL commissioner stated the league would welcome a players union investigation into the Eagles’ medical decisions, but affirmed that protocols had been followed.
