The Philadelphia Eagles will not face punishment for the way the team handled Jalen Hurts' blood clot situation, according to The Athletic, as reported by The New York Times. The report, published Tuesday, indicates the organization escapes discipline over its management of the quarterback's medical issue.
The news comes as scrutiny of the case continues. CNN described Hurts' apparent season-ending injury as leaving the Eagles with difficult questions about blood clots in his lungs. CBS Sports reported that significant unanswered questions remain about the star quarterback's health.
Other outlets have raised further concerns. 6abc Philadelphia reported lingering questions over the handling of the situation, including the pointed claim that Hurts "should have never played." NBC Sports noted that a no-sleep issue has added another confusing element to the story.
The Eagles have not commented publicly in the reporting summarized here, and the source of the decision not to discipline the team was not identified beyond The Athletic's reporting.
What to watch next: whether the Eagles or the league address the handling of Hurts' condition publicly, and how the team proceeds at quarterback with his apparent season-ending injury.
