“He Literally Could’ve Died” – Eagles Under Fire As Disturbing New Jalen Hurts Medical Details Emerge
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
The Philadelphia Eagles are taking serious heat following their latest update regarding Jalen Hurts.
Hurts, now ruled out for the season, is facing a massive health challenge, having been diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs.
The quarterback suited up to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in London despite everything suggesting he should sit out. Doctors reportedly advised him to stay up before the game, which resulted in a 36-hour period without sleep.
Medical staff somehow determined that it was safe for him to play.
Eagles Face Tough Questions About Their Medical Decision
Philadelphia’s own statement explained that doctors discovered a superficial blood clot in London. They believed activity and mobility were important and cleared Hurts to play.
Eagles fans are now venting online, with several demanding accountability from the organization.
“man, f**k you guys & i’m so f**king serious. this is literally malpractice,” one wrote.

“Everybody needs to get fucking fired. If he died from playing the blood is on everyone in the fucking front office,” said another.
“All medical staff should be fired and Jalen should sue them they almost killed him,” one person said.

“The biggest question is how he was cleared to play in the first place. No game is worth risking a player’s life,” someone else noted.
Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the season. His recovery must now take priority over Philadelphia’s disappointing campaign.
However, the Eagles will likely face questions over how they made such a decision.
