Story summary

Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback, was placed on injured reserve due to a blood clot discovered in his calf after playing through pain against the Los Angeles Rams and later the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Initially diagnosed with a superficial blood clot on October 10, further testing revealed more serious conditions including deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, forcing him to miss at least four games and possibly the rest of the season. The team's decision to let Hurts play despite the initial diagnosis has raised concerns about player safety in the NFL.
