Allen Sills dismisses concern about team physician bias as "nonsense" (it's not)

NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills spoke to reporters in New York during a quarterly ownership meeting. He denied that team physicians are influenced by non-medical staff like owners, general managers, or coaches, calling the idea that external factors could put players at risk nonsense.

Sills' comments come as the league office coordinated the medical evaluation of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in London for blood clots. Sills declined to answer specific questions about Hurts' treatment, citing patient privacy, despite the player having previously shared details of his condition.
