This statement details why there was such a dramatic change in the diagnosis for Jalen Hurts. When doctors found multiple blood clots in his lungs, it went from being able to manage it to immediate treatment. Hurts is out for the season.

Ian, As a well respected fb pundit, why would any medical expert let a person board a plane with a dvt.? Dig a bit deeper and I’m pretty sure you will find out , that decision was egregious

If internet medical experts have a problem with the way it was handled their problem is with how American Healthcare functions (or fails to at times).

Omg this is bad, fuck the football and the hate I have for the eagles but may Jalen seriously get better and healthy

Not only that but they had him stay awake for 36 hours in the hospital before the game. Then he went out and played the full game and got put on a flight home. This is malpractice on many levels.

Uh.. he's never playing football again brotha

the fact he was cleared to play a game is actually malpractice that should call for people to be fired & lost of licenses

Allowing him to play could have killed him. He needs to sue the Eagles.

Imaging should have been done before he ever got on a plane.

Wow eagles medical staff could have killed Hurts? It’s only a PE get in there wimp we have a game to win!

I don't know how anyone on the team has any faith in the medical staff, trainers, front office or the coaches. How do players not see themselves as completely expendable when the team was willing to sacrifice the franchise for a regular season game? What does that do to morale?

Maybe the nfl should stop sending your players to Europe!

Horrible! Thank GOD they caught it tho.

So initially they said the blood clot was from getting cleated during the Rams game. So if that's true then how did he end up getting additional blood clots in his lungs? Genuinely curious since I don't know how this works.

Praying for Jalen and his family, John 13:7 “you may not know now but later you will understand.” Rest up and get well Champ.

Eagles medical staff and team suck for letting him play that game in London.

That jab is going to kill more people and give more blood clots to people than people imagine

Probably could have been avoided but lurie wanted to show how ass our offense is on the international stage. This organization doesn’t give two fucks about jalen. They got what they wanted from him. Hope we get fined.

He still traveled and played. What were they thinking? He could've died. People need to get fired for this.

Well yeah because it moved due to the lack of interventions to prevent it. Never gave him blood thinners!

That could have killed him. He is lucky to be alive omg. I am so glad this was caught in time!!!!! How was he cleared to fly with that!

pulmonary embolism.

A lot of people can't read and have zero clue how these work. He was fine originally with the superficial clot, it happened to move and get a little worse. Now he's being treated. He wasn't playing with blood clots in his lungs people.

Blood clots in the lungs is not something to take lightly. He’s lucky his long plane trip didn’t kill him. And he can’t fly for some time now.

If it one blood clot was so bad he was told not to sleep, then why was he playing/traveling in the first place? Seems like this is damage control.
