From the episode

There is risk, but it's probably not that high because the, if there wasn't any explanation for why did he get this blood clot in the first place, then I would say that risk is probably higher, but he was cleated. He also went on a long flight to and from London. So that also adds to that risk. Uh, I wouldn't anticipate this being like a career threatening or career ending type of injury. I would anticipate him regardless of what happens this year, probably back week one of next year without a problem.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Hurts' blood clot risk is manageable; expected back Week 1 next year.

Blood clot risk is present but not high; Jalen Hertz notes the injury had identifiable causes (cleating and long flight to/from London) rather than unexplained etiology, which lowers recurrence risk. Not anticipated to be career-threatening or career-ending; expected to return Week 1 next year without issue regardless of 2024 outcome.
