NFL to investigate Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' medical care after union request
The National Football League announced on 21 October that it will conduct a joint investigation into the medical treatment of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts after the NFL Players Association requested a review. The league said the investigation will be carried out with the NFLPA and its findings are to be reported within 60 days.
Hurts had been sidelined in early October after doctors discovered a superficial calf blood clot that later progressed to deep-vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, prompting the team to place him on injured reserve and ending his season. The NFL Players Association had earlier urged a full inquiry into the handling of his condition, while the league previously stated that the Eagles had managed the case appropriately and would face no discipline.
