The league will take no disciplinary action against Philadelphia after reviewing how the Eagles managed their star quarterback's blood clot diagnosis.
The NFL has closed the book on one of the more worrying storylines around the Philadelphia Eagles: the team will not be disciplined for how it handled quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clots, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The league consulted with Eagles doctors about the treatment plan before reaching its decision. The source asked not to be named because the discussions between the NFL and the club were meant to stay private.
Questions had swirled because Hurts took the field in London after the initial clot diagnosis. That raised eyebrows about medical protocol and player safety, and the league's review was meant to settle whether Philadelphia's decisions met the standard. With no discipline coming, the NFL appears satisfied with the team's process.
The bigger blow is on the field. Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season, a major setback for an Eagles team built around its franchise quarterback. Philadelphia now has to move forward without him while his health remains the priority.
