I suspect an NFL investigation will start soon.Only if they went against medical adviceIt is the job or would be right for the coach or GM to go against medical advice, especially if is that playing / movement is better than not to play which seems to be the case here (unless the player expresses a desire not to play, then you have a extended conversation)
Monday at 08:59 PM3 days I see three main problems with what happened Apparently Jalen played in the London game with a known blood clotApparently Jalen got little to no sleep before the game (we can question the 36 hour number of course)Apparently Jalen flew back on the plane with a blood clot that has since traveled to his lungs

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?I hope so, but if anyone at this point really think Herbert is the answer after year after year everyone saying he needs more talent around him thinks Herbert is the answer is crazy. I only want him here to let people get what they want. A bunch of useless stats that lead to nothing, but blaming everyone but the quarterback just like the old days.

Unless they trade Hurts, new guy is going to sit anyway.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Over and over, until they could figure out what was wrong. You cannot let the clot "sit still”. They didn’t "sleep deprive” him for 36 hours straight. SMH.Not to compare my health to this issue, but I’ve been hospitalized before, for days. Nurses would wake me up every 2-3 hours to check my vitals and give me meds. 11pm, 1am, 4am, 6am, etc…..it was necessary to not let me get into a deep sleep, due to my heart condition/issue. Once I was stabilized, BOOM, sleep away. Anyway……hope he is ok and gets better.

Tuesday at 05:31 AM3 days People are making waaaaaay too much of this. Some people gotta have their DRAMA.Its as simple as this- crap happens. Life happens. Time and chance happen to everybody.There is no avoiding it. You accept it and move forward and create a Plan B and C.

Time and chance happen to everybody.There is no avoiding it. You accept it and move forward and create a Plan B and C.Given the timeline we’ve been given I don’t think Jalen was diagnosed with a blood clot until he got to the UK? And at that point the medical advice was he was okay to play and movement was key. So I can’t kill the team for that. If this lack of sleep thing is true (seems Jalen and his team have debunked that?) then he shouldn’t have played purely from a not being at 100% and mentally being fried.It does seem though like this is a really sad situation for Jalen but I’m not sure one I can kill the team for? Not based on what we’ve been told.
