NFL won't discipline Eagles over handling of Jalen Hurts' blood clots

The NFL will not discipline the Philadelphia Eagles over their handling of quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clots, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Tuesday. The league said in a statement that its officials had been in contact with Eagles medical staff and the Cleveland Clinic London throughout Hurts' treatment. Hurts has deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, according to the Eagles and his agent, and is on injured reserve, expected to miss the rest of the season. He is taking blood thinners and cannot take part in football activities until he stops. Officials, including chief medical officer Allen Sills, were to address reporters at the league's fall meeting in New York later Tuesday.

Left-leaning coverage, led by The Guardian, leads with the decision not to discipline the Eagles, citing an anonymous source and the league's statement. Right-leaning coverage, led by the Washington Times, reports the same outcome and says the NFL found the team acted properly. Alternative coverage, led by ESPN, stresses Sills' defense of the process and a players' union call for a fuller investigation.
