Yahoo Sports NFL on Jalen Hurts
From the article
The Philadelphia Eagles then said their star quarterback will probably miss the rest of the season after multiple blood clots were found in his lungs - a life-threatening condition if not treated quickly.
STACKED’s take
Hurts diagnosed with blood clots in lungs; expected to miss rest of season.
Hurts was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his calf on October 10 in London and was cleared to play the next day; he played the full game against Jacksonville on October 11. A follow-up ultrasound on October 14 showed the clot had moved, leading to his being ruled out. On October 19, further tests revealed he now has deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli (multiple blood clots in both lungs). His treatment involves blood-thinning medicine and he is expected to miss the rest of the season, though he should make a full recovery. The source notes that the worst risk factor for recurrent embolisms is having had one previously, meaning Hurts will always have to bear blood clots in mind going forward.
