Full rundown of the Jalen Hurts blood clot situation (as of right now):
🏈Oct 4 > Hurts got cleated in the calf in the Rams game
🏈Oct 7-9 > Hurts practiced in full all week & only asked for treatment on his calf after Thursday's practice
🏈Oct 10 > After the flight to England for a game in London, an ultrasound found a superficial blood clot in his calf
-Doctors said he could play
🏈Oct 10-11 > Hurts was in a London hospital until 4am the morning of the game, then stayed awake until kickoff because doctors told him sleeping was a risk with the clot... so he stayed awake for about 36 HOURS
🏈Oct 11 > He started vs the Jaguars in London with 0 sleep & played the whole game
-He didn't come out onto the field until right before kickoff & rode a stationary bike on the sideline between drives, both because of the calf
-He put up 220 yds & a TD in a loss on a 57-yd FG
🏈Oct 14 > A follow-up ultrasound showed the clot had moved, but the Eagles didn't say where
🏈Oct 15 > The Eagles ruled him out vs the Panthers
🏈Oct 17 > The Eagles put him on IR
🏈Oct 18 > Tanner McKee started in his place in a 25-14 loss to the Panthers
-New imaging over the weekend found several blood clots in his lungs
🏈Oct 19 (today) > The Eagles announced Hurts has deep vein thrombosis & blood clots in BOTH LUNGS
-He was ruled out for the season & can't play while on blood thinners (around 3 months)
🏈Oct 19 > Doctors said it's fixable: the clot was "provoked" by the cleat, no long-term effects are expected & he should be able to keep playing (vid in replies)
>Let me know what I missed
