The diagnosis followed an earlier finding of a superficial blood clot during an ultrasound in London.\n\nAfter news of Hurts' condition broke, NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson apologized for comments he made last week suggesting Hurts was trying to get himself \"out of the fray\" so the situation wouldn't reflect on him. Robinson's apology came in writing, which did not sit well with Eagles legend Terrell Owens.\n\nOwens went after Robinson on Instagram, demanding he deliver the apology the same way he delivered the original criticism. \"Say your apology on air as you did the disrespect,\" Owens wrote, adding that \"this is where getting too cute with the commentary goes wrong.\"\n\nFor now, the focus in Philadelphia shifts to how the Eagles manage the rest of their season without their starting quarterback, while the fallout from Robinson's comments continues to follow him off the field.","published_at":"2026-10-21T00:20:15.583659+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘Say Your Apology on Air’ — Eagles Legend Terrell Owens Calls Out Michael Robinson’s Response to Jalen Hurts Controversy","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/apology-air-eagles-legend-terrell-072554537.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"NFL Network analyst apologizes for controversial Jalen Hurts blood-clot comments","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/20/sports/michael-robinson-apologizes-for-jalen-hurts-blood-clot-comments/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"NFL Network's Michael Robinson apologizes for comments on Jalen Hurts' blood clots","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7706332/2026/10/19/michael-robinson-apology-jalen-hurts-injury-nfl-network/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL Network analyst apologizes for controversial Jalen Hurts blood-clot comments","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-network-analyst-apologizes-controversial-043131026.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL Analyst Apologizes to Jalen Hurts for ‘Unfounded’ Speculation About Eagles QB’s Health","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-analyst-apologizes-jalen-hurts-151219165.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/2936aa055f40dc8959f9bd49b072a3fe379455bdc5157ff79199ff80c08941ff/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fpro_football_network_512%2F339f6963b05022a6e4ac8e50ba1a57e3.jpg","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
