(Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images)Earlier in the week, a report said the NFL would not punish the Eagles for how they handled Hurts’ situation. The NFLPA responded with a strong statement of its own.
“The NFLPA is not aware of any NFL investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts. In fact, the league previously informed the union that it did not plan to review the care he received. Before conclusions are drawn about how this situation was handled, there must be a full investigation into what occurred. Determining the facts is essential to ensuring players receive the highest level of care and protection going forward.”
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell welcomed an investigation and was open to the league doing it. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) also demanded answers from Goodell, sending a letter with five key questions.
“1. Does the NFL have a league-wide protocol for the detection, prevention, and treatment of [deep vein thrombosis] and [pulmonary embolism]? Which medical guidelines were consulted in developing this protocol?
2. What standards and processes govern a player’s clearance to participate when a clot is suspected or diagnosed? Does the NFL have a league-wide Return-To-Participation Protocol?
3. What education is provided to players, athletic trainers, and coaches on how to identify the signs and symptoms of DVT and PE?
4. What specific measures has the League put in place to reduce blood clot risk, including, but not limited to, those associated with long flights?
5. Will the League conduct a thorough review of the Eagles’ handling of this specific situation, including who cleared Mr. Hurts to play after staying awake overnight, and cleared subsequent air travel on a transatlantic flight back to the U.S. from London? If so, what is the timeline?”
The Eagles are focused on their upcoming Week 7 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Tanner McKee will be starting in Hurts’ place.
