Unbelievable. If this is all accurate, I can’t wait to see how the @Eagles hold their medical staff accountable.. and how the @NFL holds the Eagles accountable. And it better be swift.
How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

And so who holds the NFL accountable? They had all the info and gave the green light.

Who holds the NFL accountable for forcing long international flights on its players? Long high altitude flights and physical trauma do not mix. These games are not safe for the players. That is with not even considering the added political unrest abroad now. They’re playing with fire for the dollar.

He has also confirmed he’s vaccinated Sage, I have had several friends develop blood clots due to the Covid shot…when will the NFL take accountability?

Covid vaxxs clog some people up badly. The NFL mandated those shots. This is likely a repercussion of that.

If this was diagnosed in the US and they allowed him to fly is absolutely negligent.

Wondering what the common denominator is. There have been other athletes with this issue. If not performance enhancing drugs then what are they being given?

This is an idiotic take. “If”!!!! You don’t know anything and want people held accountable for an “if”???? For a person who talks about ethical journalism you’re being just. Like the hot take rage baiters. I held you in high regard until this. Sad.

This is the definition of medical malpractice.

Hurts needs to medically retire and sue the absolute SHIT out of the NFL and the Eagles. This is LIFETIME effects.

Agree. This is getting worse with each update. It's appalling by the Eagles medical staff that this got as bad as it did. He's very lucky to be alive. The NFLPA should be stepping in on this. It shouldn't happen to ANY player.

Set himself up for failure. Team physicians failed bigly.

If this somehow finally gets Nick Sirianni fired, it’s just an added bonus. Letting bruh play an NFL FUCKING GAME, on NO sleep and oh btw, blood clots in the lungs… Blow it up

This is not getting nearly enough attention. This was criminal.

He could have said no. He's a grown man.

Hoping Jalen has some good lawyer to go after the entire @Eagles organization.

Absolutely. Because the NFL has such high standards for player safety. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

This is all comes down to information. Did the hospital staff tell the Eagles medical staff Hurts was cleared to play. The Eagles organization is free and clear if the doctors at the hospital cleared him. Now if those doctors said he shouldn't play and the team staff defied that... they should be fired. The bigger question is if that's the case, did the team staff tell Siriani? Because if Siriani knew that he shouldn't have played but played him anyway... he's gone also.

Why would “not sleeping” help anything - if you have a PE it doesn’t matter if you are awake or not …

Hurts could have died at any moment, and he should NEVER have been on an airplane with this condition.

Maybe the NFL should realize, you play American Football in America ONLY!

Jalen chose to play knowing all of this. He’s a grown ass man. They gave him all the info and he decided to play. Playing did absolutely nothing @sagesteele

Eagles are media and league protected. Nothing will happen. If this was Dallas , there would be fines already

I hope there is a lawsuit and the Eagles are penalized to a high degree. If i’m Hurts idk if I want to work for this organization anymore.

I have blood clots and Eagles med staff treated Hurts appropriately. Clots are not created equal and the body can deal with them w/o meds. Now that he is on meds, they are doing the right thing. He can’t take a knock on the noggin while on anticoagulants.

Just when you thought there was no way to get the NFL to stop playing these ridiculous overseas games, here comes Hurts with a $100 trillion dollar lawsuit. 💰

The @NFL does not give a flying fuck about the health and well being of any players or coaches. It’s all about that money.

My wife developed a DVT while we were driving one Christmas. We discovered later what it was. They said she could have died on the trip home. They said afterward that flying would have been even worse. I can’t believe the Eagles just had him go on this trip. Utter incompetence

Sage, I just read he is now out for the season, his lungs are full of blood clots. Any thoughts as to how he got full of blood clots?
