Sills asked about superficial blood clots. Says they’re not a novel condition and notes the league tracks the data on blood clots and shares it with the NFLPA. Didn’t directly say players are always cleared to play with a superficial blood clot, as each case has extenuating conditions. As for flying, Sills notes part of the protocol after games is determining whether any players have medical conditions that would require them to stay at the site of the game. Sills stated off the top he wouldn’t be commenting on Jalen Hurts’ situation specifically, as there are patient-privacy concerns.

Statement from the @NFLPA: “The NFLPA is not aware of any NFL investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts. In fact, the league previously informed the union that it did not plan to review the care he received. Before conclusions are drawn about how this situation was handled, there must be a full investigation into what occurred. Determining the facts is essential to ensuring players receive the highest level of care and protection going forward.”
