Jalen Hurts out for rest of season with blood clots

Featured Replies

Jalen is a class act, I wish him nothing but the best and a speedy recovery. Life is more important than football.

Get healthy and well, Jalen.

Great player. Great warrior and leader. Was an integral part of our second Super Bowl.

Personally I hope he is back as Eagles QB1 next year with a line that will protect him so he can keep helping the team win and build his legacy.

But most importantly I hope he makes a full and safe recovery.

Speedy recovery. Hopefully back to hit it hard next year. I hope we shut barkley down for the season and save some wear and tear on his legs.

Can't help but wonder... If Howie thinks this team can win now when healthy, the nfce being what it is, and all the draft capital the next 2 years..... Does he pull the trigger and trade for say.... Herbert?

First round exit easy, but I support the idea. The clowns want stats from their quarterback and not wins so he fits in perfectly.

Jalen needs to focus on his health and what plans he has going forward if there’s a chance he may never play again - or if he decides its simply not worth it.

I wish him the best whichever decision he makes.

This has the potential to really snow ball. Howie could be in trouble with the league. This could end up with big changes happening

The national media is already running with the story and looking for scape goats. Howie Nick Jeff the Drs need to lawyer up.

I bet they are talking to their attorneys today

People die from blood clots on long flights and they let him travel with one without doing a full body scan. Blood clots don't move that quickly into the lungs. He must have had them there before the flight over and then they kept him up all night and let him play. This is not going away quietly or quickly

idk who underdogNFL is on X with a gold checkmark. Maybe just some rando, but that account is saying team doctors diagnosed Hurts in London with this issue and told him to stay up for 36 hours before the game against JAX. I assumed this was meant to prevent further clotting as your heart rate and breathing slows during sleep. If this is even remotely true, one of three or all three of the team doctor, Sirianni and/or Roseman will be canned.

First and foremost best wishes for a speedy and full recovery for Jalen 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Even if he is cleared to return next season itd give me post injury Alex Smith kinda vibes. Prayers for the best 🙏🏾🙏🏾🦅🦅

This team was willing to let Jalen die on the field.

If he ever gets to play again, he should never play for a team that doesn't care about his life.

The Eagles deserve everything terrible that's happened to them this season, and more

You seem like a real peach.

Why on earth they would try and get Herbert is beyond me. The guy sucks with no OL in LA and is arguably the worst QB in the league rn, yet people would expect him to shine behind this OL and banged up roster?? 🤣

I guarantee Josh Allen would've received a different medical evaluation than Jalen Hurts.

"Hey Josh, we noticed you have a blood clot in your calf that could lead to life threatening consequences. So we're going to have you stay up for 36 hours straight, take two international flights, and play a football game."

Not a Fing chance. The Eagles made a business decision on Jalen's life.

So you are playing the racism card in regards to his medical treatment?

I’m assuming they cleared him to play against the Jags because….rest/non-movement could make the clot worse.

Same for the sleep decision, meaning, if he wasn’t active or moving around, the clot worsens. So they didn’t want him to just lay around and do nothing. Keep him awake and moving, then re-assess the condition.

Thats exactly what was put out originally. I dont think people seem to remember hurts has his own independent medical staff.

So you're clairvoyant? As a new poster here (but not to message boarding) can you tell me who will win the division this year so I can get my bets in now?

Man, this news just keeps getting worse.

Firstly and most importantly let’s hope for a smooth recovery for Jalen. There are things more important than football and this is most certainly one.

If it’s all true re. not sleeping, it really doesn’t look good for Eagles re letting him fly without further evaluation or play in London. At the very least, can’t see how the medical staff survives this

Wishing you a speedy recovery Jalen, life is more important than sport....

The team statement they released today is obnoxiously tone-deaf. The way this is being downplayed is Fing absurd.

Lurie is going to get sued to oblivion. What are the chances the NFL makes him sell the team?

When I saw the first blood clot report, I thought "What's kind of serious, even in his leg...", now I read that there's multiple in his lungs? Potentially extremely serious. After a CT Scan a few years ago, they found a clot in my mother's lung and put her on Eliquis (a blood thinner) immediately, which worked to dissolve the clot. She's been on them ever since.

I would assume that they're looking for the underlying cause, if there is one and it's not just a random sort of thing. I'm not sure what causes them. Have there been any reports on that aspect?

Downplaying to the public is one thing, but we don't know what's happening behind the scenes. I wouldn't read too much into it, especially when they're dealing with HIPPA sort of information that they have to be careful with.
