NFL, Union Open Discussions on Joint Jalen Hurts Investigation
The CBA allows for a four-month process.
The NFL and the NFL Players Association have started discussions to jointly investigate the medical care provided to Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts has been sidelined due to blood clots in his lungs and is expected to miss the rest of the season. The league and union stated in a joint statement that they are working together to review the matter.
Hurts' contract is set to run through the 2028 season, and some analysts have viewed it as more of a year-to-year proposition. The NFL believes the Eagles followed proper medical procedures, but some observers have criticized the team for allowing Hurts to continue playing after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his leg and then traveling to London.
The NFLPA has not been aware of any investigation into Hurts' medical care, but they are calling for a full investigation to ensure players receive the highest level of care and protection.
