NFLPA demands 'full investigation' into Hurts' medical care

Key Points:

• The NFL Players Association has called for a full investigation into the medical care provided to Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, expressing concern over the league's decision not to review the case despite Hurts being cleared to play with a blood clot.
• Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season after multiple blood clots were found in his lungs, with the Eagles and NFL officials defending the medical decisions made, describing the treatment as conservative and patient-focused.
• NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills and executive vice president Jeff Miller rejected speculation that Hurts was put at risk, emphasizing confidence in the Eagles' medical staff and the league’s protocols for international games.
• The Eagles allowed Hurts to play in London after an ultrasound showed a superficial clot, but a follow-up ultrasound in Philadelphia revealed progression, leading to Hurts being ruled out for subsequent games.
• Eagles coach Nick Sirianni expressed full faith in the team’s medical experts and acknowledged the challenge of playing without Hurts, while emphasizing the priority placed on player health throughout the process.
