The Eagles Let Jalen Hurts Play in London With a Blood Clot. We Need Answers.

It started as a bruised calf. Then a superficial blood clot. Then a follow-up ultrasound showed it had moved. And now, as of today, the news is worse than anyone wanted to hear -- deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs. Jalen Hurts is done for the year.

But the story isn’t just about football. There are questions that deserve answers, starting with this one: why did the Eagles clear him to play in London after doctors told him to stay awake for 36 straight hours?

I’m just back from Green Bay and Appleton for the book tour, and even coming off a weekend like that, this one hit me hard. I’m a huge Jalen Hurts fan -- not just the player, the person. So when I say we need answers, I mean it with the full weight of that.

My full take is inside for paid subscribers -- including what this says about player safety, the NFL’s accountability problem, and why the Eagles’ silence is its own kind of answer.
