Why Hurts played with blood clot and what it means for NFL

Jalen Hurts has led the Philadelphia Eagles to two Super Bowls, winning the NFL's championship game in 2025 [Getty Images] News that Jalen Hurts played a game hours after being diagnosed with a blood clot had already shocked the NFL world. 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. It raised questions over the NFL's handling of the matter and its general approach to player health and safety, partly because the game in question was part of the league's international series.
