The league has cleared the team's medical decisions but is unhappy with how little Philadelphia has explained publicly as Jalen Hurts' diagnosis grew more serious.
The NFL is reportedly "furious" with the Philadelphia Eagles, not over how they treated Jalen Hurts, but over how little they've told the public since his blood clot diagnosis became known.
The saga began on Oct. 4, when Hurts took a cleat to the calf during a loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Days later, ahead of the Eagles' Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London, specialists found a blood clot on an MRI. According to Jay Glazer, Hurts was evaluated at a Cleveland Clinic facility in London on Oct. 10 by doctors approved jointly by the NFL and NFLPA, who determined the clot was superficial and cleared him to play and travel.
Hurts went on to play in the London game. In the week that followed, he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and multiple blood clots in his lungs, a condition whose treatment will likely sideline him for the rest of the season.
More than two weeks removed from that London game, questions about the Eagles' medical process and decision-making remain largely unanswered, fueling the league's frustration with the team's messaging.
