The diagnosis came just days after the Eagles quarterback played against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 11, a decision that is now drawing heavy criticism.\n\nReports indicate doctors had advised Hurts not to sleep before that game because of how risky his condition was, yet the Eagles allowed him to take the field anyway. According to Pro Football Talk, the NFL league office had already been in communication with the Eagles about Hurts' health before the Week 5 matchup, meaning the organization was aware of concerns before letting him play.\n\nThe details that emerged Monday were serious enough that the NFL is expected to investigate who knew what, when they knew it, and how the decision was made to clear Hurts for the London game. ESPN consulted a medical professional to explain the causes, treatment, and outlook for blood clots, underscoring how serious the quarterback's condition is.\n\nThe situation raises obvious questions about the Eagles' medical decision-making and what oversight, if any, existed before Hurts was sent out to play.","published_at":"2026-10-21T00:20:15.583659+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles QB Jalen Hurts playing with blood clots deserves heavy scrutiny","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-playing-with-blood-clots-deserves-heavy-scrutiny-194017539.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis explained: What it means for the QB","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50219637/jalen-hurts-eagles-blood-clot"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Tom Pelissero frames Jalen Hurts diagnosis as tough-guy story rather than organizational malpractice","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/tom-pelissero-frames-jalen-hurts-diagnosis-tough-guy-story-organizational-malpractice.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts' season likely over","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jalen-hurts-season-likely-over-144420934.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles star Hurts to miss rest of NFL season: reports","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-star-hurts-miss-rest-151216829.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts’ sleepless 36 hours before London game opens new blood clots questions","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jalen-hurts-sleepless-36-hours-151142385.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts to miss the the rest of the season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/philadelphia-eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-153205899.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL Network analyst ripped for trivializing Jalen Hurts’ blood clots","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-network-analyst-ripped-trivializing-160125025.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts reportedly told not to sleep before playing game with blood clot","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jalen-hurts-reportedly-told-not-165912211.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jalen Hurts' season is reportedly over: Fantasy fallout for Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith and other Eagles teammates","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/article/jalen-hurts-season-is-reportedly-over-fantasy-fallout-for-saquon-barkley-devonta-smith-and-other-eagles-teammates-181155677.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles Face Major Setback as Jalen Hurts Is Reportedly Ruled Out for the Season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-face-major-setback-jalen-185223318.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Why did Jalen Hurts fly with blood clot?
