From the episode
Jalen Hertz blood clot situation, they haven't released some of the like key details in order to really determine the timeline. The best case here is that the blood clot stays small and superficial, which is what they reported initially. And that the body dissolves it over the course of about six weeks... if the clot goes deeper, that is a much more serious issue. And that requires blood thinners and you can't play football on blood thinners because you could bleed, especially if you get hit in the head.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalInjury
Hurts' blood clot could sideline him 4 weeks or end his season depending on severity.
Hurts placed on IR with blood clot; best-case scenario involves superficial clot dissolving over six weeks with ongoing monitoring; worst-case requires blood thinners for 6–12 weeks (typically closer to 12), potentially ending his season since blood thinners are incompatible with football due to head-injury bleeding risk. Eagles have not released detailed timeline, but outlook ranges from four-week absence to season-ending depending on clot depth and treatment protocol.
