NFL clears Eagles over handling of Hurts condition
The NFL will not discipline the Philadelphia Eagles over their handling of quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clots, the Guardian and CBS Sports reported. After consulting team doctors, the league concluded that the process used to clear Hurts for a Week 5 game in London was appropriate. Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Why it matters
The decision closes the league inquiry but keeps player-health protocols under scrutiny after a serious diagnosis.
