HEARTBREAKING: Philadelphia #Eagles fans have put together an emotional THANK YOU and GOODBYE video for superstar QB Jalen Hurts.
Hurts is out for the remainder of the season due to a blood clot, and his future in Philadelphia remains uncertain.
Damn 💔
They gave CJ damn near the deepest WR room in the league now and he hitting like eight guys every game for multiple catches it’s about to get interesting
"The owner, the general manager, and whoever represents the medical staff ... that's the three people that should be [answering questions]."
Marcus Spears reacts to Jalen Hurts' season-ending diagnosis of several blood clots.
Just spoke to Jalen Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, who clarified that while Hurts was up until early Sunday morning getting evaluated at a hospital, he was able to sleep upon rejoining the team and the Eagles set aside a room for him at the stadium. Videos from the stadium show Hurts coming onto the field just before kickoff and he felt rested enough to play.
POWERFUL: #Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion has battled a stutter his entire life but he still makes it a point to speak with the media after every game.
KC continues to show incredible courage and is an inspiration to everyone who struggles with a stutter.
This is the publicly known Jalen Hurts timeline:
• The team says he was cleated in the calf vs. the Rams in Week 4 but didn't ask for treatment until a few days later, practicing in full in between.
• After the #Eagles flew to London, an ultrasound found a superficial blood clot in his calf. Doctors still cleared him to play.
• However, the night before the game, he spent time in the hospital and was told not to sleep because it was a risk. He played the full game without much sleep.
• He then took the roughly 7-8 hour flight from London back to Philly and started practicing in full that week. Speaking to the media, Hurts called it a "very unique experience" but didn't want to get into details.
• A follow-up ultrasound then showed the clot had moved, and he was ruled out for Week 6.
• Further testing has now diagnosed him with deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs. He's on blood thinners and expected to miss the rest of the season.
Jalen Hurts was told by doctors not to sleep as a precaution after being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot, so he stayed awake for 36 hours before starting against the Jaguars in Week 5 🤯
He played well and nearly led the Eagles to a win 😮
