## Summary

Agent Leigh Steinberg said Jalen Hurts’ blood clot case is likely to put the NFL and quarterback agents on alert about their role in protecting players’ health. He said he would have contacted team doctors for answers, while stressing that specialists must assess whether the Eagles’ medical decisions were appropriate.

Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season after tests found deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs. The Eagles said he was cleared to play in London on 11 October after an ultrasound found a superficial clot in his left calf; a follow-up scan on 14 October showed it had moved, and he went on injured reserve on 17 October. The NFL and NFL Players Association announced a joint review on 25 October, though its formal launch had not been confirmed; Hurts has been described as clinically stable and expected to make a full recovery.
