Before us is one of the more complex and possibly controversial medical stories the NFL has seen in years, and, coming to the podium, we have Nick Sirianni, a career football coach with a degree in *checks notes* not being a doctor, from Mount Union College. The guy who, bless his heart and I say this in his defense, couldn’t nail his opening press conference talking about football, having an aggressive mentality and playing together, never mind the one about why the quarterback may have flown home from London with blood clots, or played in a football game with them.
We still need to know much more about Jalen Hurts and his season-ending medical condition. What we know for sure, from a joint statement by the Eagles and Hurts’s agent, Nicole Lynn, is that Hurts needs to take blood thinners to solve what is now being diagnosed as a deep vein thrombosis in addition to bilateral pulmonary emboli. According to that statement, the initial diagnosis in London was a left calf superficial vein thrombosis.
