NFLPA calls for ‘full investigation’ in latest twist to Jalen Hurts blood clot saga

The NFL Players Association has formally requested a complete inquiry into the Philadelphia Eagles regarding the medical treatment administered to quarterback Jalen Hurts. This development follows official remarks from league health executives dismissing skepticism surrounding the handling of Hurts, who is now sidelined for the rest of the campaign after initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot that was later classified as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli.

Union representatives stated they have received no indication of any internal league review and stressed that determining the exact facts is necessary to safeguard player well-being. Meanwhile, senior medical leadership defended the decision-making process that cleared the signal-caller for an overseas matchup, forcefully rejecting any suggestion that team doctors allowed external pressures to compromise player safety.
