Ex-Pro Bowler suspicious of Eagles story about Jalen Hurts' blood clot
An NFL Network analyst said he was "playing devil's advocate" by questioning Jalen Hurts' absence from the Eagles. Hurts' teammate had a different response.
Former Pro Bowl fullback Michael Robinson, now an NFL Network analyst, has expressed skepticism regarding the recent revelation of a blood clot in Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. According to Robinson, the timing of Hurts' blood clot diagnosis appears suspicious, as it coincides with the Eagles' recent struggles, including the departure of key players due to injuries or personal reasons.
The former Pro Bowler pointed out that the team's recent trades have provided them with multiple draft picks, suggesting that they may be looking for a new quarterback. Robinson also noted that Hurts' five-year, $255 million extension runs through the 2028 season, but his guarantees expire after the 2027 campaign. He speculated that the team might be attempting to create an excuse to move on from Hurts, as his performance has been inconsistent and the team has faced numerous setbacks throughout the season.
