Jalen Hurts’ season is over after the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was diagnosed with more serious blood clots in his lungs, prompting questions about the team’s decision to allow him to play in London after an earlier clot was discovered.
Hurts was initially diagnosed with a superficial blood clot and was hospitalised. He was later cleared to play before travelling to London with the Eagles.
After returning to Philadelphia with the team, further blood clots were found in his lungs. The diagnosis has brought his season to an abrupt end.
Questions over Jalen Hurts’ treatment
The central issue is whether the Eagles should have taken a more cautious approach with their franchise quarterback once the first clot had been identified.
The team is now facing scrutiny over whether it did enough to protect Hurts’ health before the condition became more serious. No further details about his treatment were provided.
The controversy was discussed on “The Low Down”, a new YouTube collaboration between TMZ and the New York Post covering major news stories.
