Jalen Hurts out for season after blood clots; NFLPA calls for investigation of his care
Photo: CBS SportsPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season after doctors found blood clots in his calf and then his lungs. Follow-up scans revealed deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli after an initial calf clot diagnosis. The clot was linked to a cleat injury in the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams, and Hurts played in the Week 5 game in London even though the clot was reportedly detected the night before. The NFL concluded the process that cleared him was handled appropriately, but the NFLPA has called for a full investigation. The league said it would welcome one.

Alternative coverage from CBS Sports leads with Hurts's season-ending injury and clot timeline, featuring the NFLPA statement and the league's position. Left-leaning coverage from NPR leads with questions about how Hurts is being treated, featuring Lindsay Jones of The Ringer. Left and alternative sources both focus on the clot diagnosis, but only the alternative source details the timeline.
