Hurts is expected to make a full recovery, and so far there is no reason to question whether the veteran will be able to return for the 2027 NFL season.“Jalen was initially diagnosed by specialists in London with a left calf superficial vein thrombosis,” the joint statement revealed. “After further testing and monitoring, the current diagnosis is a deep vein thrombosis, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli.“He is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations. His treatment should only involve anticoagulation (i.e. ‘blood thinners’). During this time, he will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities, including football,” the statement added.“Jalen’s prognosis is very good, and we expect a full recovery. We anticipate that he will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners. In the meantime, he will remain active around the team and continue to condition. More importantly, we anticipate that he will have no long-term effects.”The NFL Will Not Punish the Eagles for the Team’s Handling of Jalen Hurts’ InjuryThere were conflicting reports that Hurts avoided sleeping prior to the Eagles’ October 11, game in London as a result of medical advice.
