NFLPA calls for NFL to conduct full investigation into medical care provided to Jalen Hurts

According to the NFL Players Association, the league should conduct a comprehensive investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts. The NFLPA has not been informed of any such investigation by the NFL, which previously stated it had no plans to review Hurts' care. The controversy stems from Hurts' current situation, which involves a deep vein thrombosis and multiple blood clots in his lungs.

These issues arose during the Philadelphia Eagles' trip to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars. The timeline of events surrounding Hurts' condition and the measures taken to manage his injury have been disputed. Initially, it was reported that Hurts was instructed to stay awake for 36 hours prior to playing due to his injury.

However, this claim was later retracted and clarified that Hurts was allowed to sleep at the stadium. Earlier reports suggested that the NFL would not penalize the Eagles for their handling of the situation, according to The Athletic. It was revealed that the Eagles were aware of Hurts' blood clot in his calf while he played in Week 5 and allowed him to continue playing and travel back to the United States.

Following further testing, Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 due to the progression of his blood clots.
