Hour 2: Something's Gotta Give

Mina Kimes gonna stop by in 15 minutes, help us figure out what the Seahawks do with Sam Darnold from here on out, and look at the rest of the NFL slate coming up this weekend.

Back-to-back shots in London for the Jags.

They continue their home stand there against the Texans.

Uh, so plenty of stuff to get into with Mina, including really scary situation, uh, that developed for the Philadelphia Eagles-

Yeah

... and their quarterback, Jalen Hurts.

Uh, eh, we talk all the time, injuries are 100% over a long enough timeline when you play the sport of football.

We know that.

But, uh, there's the difference of the injuries we're used to and then the ones, uh, that always strike more of a chord.

And anytime you hear a blood clot-

Yeah

... that's certainly what comes up.

And Jalen Hurts, uh, gonna be out this weekend for the Eagles game against the Carolina Panthers with a superficial blood clot.

So a, a quick look at the timeline for this.

Basically for Jalen Hurts, going back to October 8th, went in and told the Eagles staff that he had gotten cleated in the calf playing against the Rams four days prior.

And so before the game against the Jaguars, their game in London, they performed an ultrasound out of abundance of cautions after they got the flight to London that revealed the clot, though doctors determined there that he was safe to play.

So he played without any limitations, did recovery and treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and then practiced in full on Wednesday before that follow-up ultrasound they wanted to do 72 hours later, and that was when they showed that the blood clot had moved.

And so, uh, now he's gonna miss this weekend.

It's TBD o- on more here.

And, you know, superficial blood clot, after a bunch of Googling, as compared to something like, you know, going back a couple of years, Victor Wembanyama, a deep vein thrombosis.

Right, right.

It's quite literally what it is.

It's just deeper in the body, and the deeper, the more dangerous it appears to be.

And so we're thankful that this is the lesser of two evils for Jalen Hurts, but this is something now that they have to monitor for a quarterback that is atypical-

Yeah
