Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has blood clots in lungs, out for season

By Field Level Media Oct 19 (Field Level Media) Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the season after further testing revealed ​blood clots in his lungs, the team announced ‌Monday. Hurts condition is considered stable and he has no significant functional limitations, the team said. His treatment for a new diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli will involve blood thinners, ‌during ​which time he is unable to ⁠participate in contact activities. The ⁠28-year-old veteran s prognosis is good and the team said it expects a full recovery with no long-term effects.

Further testing discovered multiple blood ⁠clots in his lungs. We anticipate ⁠that he will have the opportunity to ​resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners, the ​team s statement concluded
