## Summary

The NFL and NFL Players Association have begun a joint investigation into how Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ blood clots were discovered and whether the team followed required medical procedures. The review follows the Eagles’ decision to place him on injured reserve, and may examine the timing of his medical screening and the possible relevance of the team’s London travel.

Hurts was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs, and is taking blood thinners; he cannot play until the clots are treated and he has stopped the medication. He is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, possibly longer. The Eagles have offered few details, while the NFL’s chief medical officer has expressed confidence in the team’s medical staff; the union requested the investigation under the collective bargaining agreement, and no completion date has been set.
