  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles have not faced any punishment from the NFL over quarterback Jalen Hurts playing through a blood clot in Week 5 of the season. Despite concerns from fans and media, the NFL determined that the decision to allow Hurts to play in that game was made appropriately. The league source stated that the NFL would not issue any punishment to the Eagles for their handling of the medical situation or for not giving Hurts an injury designation before the game. This decision comes after Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni faced criticism for Hurts playing with blood clots and minimal sleep. Hurts now faces a season-ending injury, with blood clots discovered in his lungs and requiring blood thinners for treatment.",
