The NFL won’t punish the Philadelphia Eagles for how they handled Jalen Hurts’ medical process after the quarterback was diagnosed with blood clots, a source told The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones.
The league reportedly concluded that the Eagles handled the situation appropriately and didn’t violate its injury report policy.
Hurts was diagnosed with a blood clot in his calf a day before Philadelphia’s Oct. 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Despite the issue, the passer was allowed to play and had no injury designation for the matchup. Doctors reportedly told Hurts not to sleep before the game as a precaution, and Hurts stayed awake until early Sunday morning but managed to get some sleep before kickoff.
