NFL Defends Eagles’ Handling of Jalen Hurts’ Blood Clot Issue Amid Union Investigation Call
The Mankato Free Press reports on the NFL defending the Philadelphia Eagles' management of Jalen Hurts' blood clot issue, amid a call from the players' union for an investigation.
Mankato, MN, October 20, 2026 —
The NFL has defended the Philadelphia Eagles’ management of Jalen Hurts’ blood clot issue, according to a report by the Mankato Free Press. The report also says the players’ union has called for an investigation, setting out opposing positions on how the matter was handled.
The summary of the report does not provide the NFL’s specific explanation, the union’s stated reasons for seeking an investigation or what the proposed review would examine. It also does not give a date for the statements or say whether an investigation has begun. Without those details, the precise points of disagreement and the status of the union’s request remain unclear.
The available information identifies Hurts as the player involved and describes the issue as a blood clot. It does not specify when the condition arose, how it was treated, whether it affected his availability to play or what medical information has been made public. No further details about the Eagles’ handling of the issue are provided.
The report’s account therefore establishes that the NFL has defended the team’s management while the union has called for an investigation, but it does not establish the outcome of that call or provide findings about the care Hurts received. The names of any officials involved, the union’s specific demands and any response from Hurts or the Eagles were not included in the information available for this article.
