Goodell says NFL welcomes review of Eagles' handling of Hurts clots

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league welcomes an investigation into how the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts' blood clots, after the players' union asked for one.

Posted Updated (12 d ago)

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that the league welcomes an investigation into how the Philadelphia Eagles handled quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clots, PBS NewsHour reports. The NFL Players Association had asked for one.

NBC News reports the union is calling for a "full investigation." Fox News reports the NFLPA said it is unaware of any NFL investigation into Hurts' clot care. That contradicts league officials, who defended the Eagles.

On Tuesday, an NFL spokesperson told NBC News the Eagles would not be disciplined. Fox News reported the league had closed its review of the team's actions before the Jaguars game in London. The Guardian, citing an anonymous person who spoke to the Associated Press, said the league consulted with Eagles doctors about Hurts' treatment. NBC News reports the NFL said at a Tuesday press conference that the Eagles acted in Hurts' best interest.

Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season because of blood clots in his lungs, following clots in his calf, according to the AP via CNBC. The team said he will not play while on blood thinners, ABC News reports. Hurts' agent and the Eagles said in a Monday statement that his "prognosis is very good," CBS News reports.

The Guardian, citing ESPN, says Hurts reported calf pain on 8 October. An ultrasound in London found a superficial clot in his calf. The Eagles say team and London doctors agreed activity and mobility were important. Hurts played in the 11 October loss to Jacksonville and practiced the following week. A second ultrasound then found clots in his lungs. The Hill reports the team faces growing criticism over its handling of the case.
