NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has called for a full investigation into the handling of Jalen Hurts' blood clot situation, criticizing the NFL for not reviewing the medical care he received.
- Hurts traveled to London, played, and returned to Philadelphia all while dealing with a blood clot in his leg, raising serious concerns about player safety and medical protocols.
- The NFL previously informed the NFLPA that it did not plan to investigate the care provided to Hurts, which the union finds unacceptable and premature given the seriousness of the issue.
- The NFL's quick conclusion that the situation was handled appropriately contrasts with the typically longer investigations seen in concussion protocol cases, suggesting a possible rush to close the matter.
- The NFLPA's involvement signals increased scrutiny and pressure on the NFL to ensure proper medical care and transparency in player health matters going forward.
