Jalen Hurts out for season after blood clots found in lungs

This isn't unique or personal to Tom, but we HAVE to stop lionizing any and every sacrifice at the altar of the NFL. The question was never, "how committed is Jalen Hurts to football?" He's a Super Bowl MVP. The question is: how committed were the Eagles to Hurts when his health was in real danger?

When you search for "Jalen Hurts" on bluesky or reddit or instagram or Google, you'll find people sharing concern for his health & anger at the Eagles' medical staff. When you search for "Jalen Hurts" on X, you'll find anti-vax conspiracy theorists, nearly all of whom tag Grok. Sick shit, man.

it’s actually very funny that the eagles coaching staff decided that jalen hurts with a blood clot on no sleep was still a better option than tanner mckee

(The answer is "no" by the way. There is no way Jalen Hurts should have been cleared to play.)

Let me get this straight: Jalen Hurts wasn't healthy enough to sleep that night, but the team doctors deemed him fit to play against the Jaguars the next day? Heads need to roll, but that won't happen.

The Eagles are the most universally beloved and followed team in a city full of universally beloved and followed teams, and now every fan is going to be like "hey, you guys could've killed our Super Bowl-winning quarterback." If you're Jalen Hurts how do you ever play another down for this team?

btw someone needs to lose their medical license for green lighting Jalen Hurts to get on a plane and play a contact sport at the highest level with a superficial blood clot. now there are several in his lungs. really fucking hope he’s gonna be okay

Reading about Jalen Hurts makes you really understand that Andrew Luck made the best possible decision for himself and his family.

Jalen Hurts is one of the sports figures who has served as an excellent barometer of sell-out tendencies. And, there are a handful of Black and POC analysts I’ve lost respect for over the years, specifically, in the way they’ve handled coverage of him and a few others (e.g., Angel Reese).
