The two sides are reportedly still working to settle the parameters of that review.\n\nThat has not stopped the league from answering questions from Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, who had previously written to the NFL expressing concern over the situation. In response, the league said mutually agreed-upon independent medical experts, as outlined in the league and union's Collective Bargaining Agreement, will examine the matter and report their conclusions and recommendations to both sides.\n\nThe NFL and NFLPA will also consider whether the experts' findings warrant additional guidance for teams on handling blood clots going forward. No timeline has been given for when the investigation will formally begin or conclude.","published_at":"2026-11-14T23:35:28.148707+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL tells Senator that Jalen Hurts review will include "mutually agreed-upon independent medical experts"","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-tells-senator-jalen-hurts-192840026.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"NFL tells Senator that Jalen Hurts review will include \"mutually agreed-upon independent medical experts\"","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-tells-senator-that-jalen-hurts-review-will-include-mutually-agreed-upon-independent-medical-experts"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Independent experts to review how Eagles handled Jalen Hurts’ blood clots, NFL says","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7780403/2026/11/13/jalen-hurts-blood-clots-nfl-nflpa-independent-review/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Independent experts to play role in Hurts review, NFL says","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50474564/nfl-outlines-aspects-jalen-hurts-investigation-senator"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL Tells Senator Independent Experts Will Review Eagles' Jalen Hurts' Blood Clot Case","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-tells-senator-independent-experts-050438775.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘I Want the Full Truth,’ ‘People Might Be in Big Trouble’ — NFL Fans React as League Executive Provides Update on Jalen Hurts’ Blood Clots Investigation","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/want-full-truth-people-might-070735995.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles News: “Independent medical experts will examine the circumstances around Jalen Hurts’ blood clots”","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-news-independent-medical-experts-163719013.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/03a0648/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F127%2F171%2Fnbc_pft_nicksirianni_261110.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
