Key Points:
- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and bilateral pulmonary emboli after initial diagnosis of a superficial vein thrombosis in his left calf.
- Hurts is currently clinically stable with no significant functional limitations but will be on blood thinners and prohibited from contact activities, including football, during treatment.
- The Eagles and Hurts' agent expect a full recovery with no long-term effects, and Hurts will remain active with the team and continue conditioning while off the blood thinners before resuming contact football.
- Reports indicate Hurts was hospitalized the night before the Eagles' London game and played despite little or no sleep on medical advice, though the team has not commented on this situation.
- Hurts' season is likely over due to the seriousness of DVT and associated complications.
