Stephen A. Smith has harsh words for Eagles after Jalen Hurts news

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the NFL season due to multiple blood clots discovered in his lungs, according to US media reports on Monday. The discovery was made after the team's recent trip to London for an international series game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ESPN and NFL Network confirmed that Hurts will undergo treatment for at least three months, which will end his season with the Eagles.

The team had previously announced that Hurts would miss at least a month following a blood clot diagnosis in his calf. The clot was identified during a routine medical check-up after the London game. In a statement, Hurts' agent, Nicole Lynn, confirmed the diagnosis of a deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, stating that the quarterback is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations.

The statement assured that Hurts' prognosis is very good, and he is expected to make a full recovery. During the treatment period with blood thinners, Hurts will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities, including football. However, he will remain active around the team and continue to condition. The Eagles anticipate that Hurts will resume contact football activities once off the blood thinners, with no long-term effects expected.
