Nick WrightHostDamonza ByrdHostJalen Hurts is set to miss the remainder of the season with blood clots in the leg.
Schefter reported that Philly wasn't putting him on IR, but that ended up being a lie or false, I guess.
And then Pellicer reported that Hurts didn't sleep for 36 hours before the game and played in it, obviously.
but also pelissero then walked that back the reporting around this has been wrong i want the blood clots started in the legs we now hear they're in the lungs none of this passes the smell test and it didn't from the very beginning so i'm going to give everyone the timeline here okay jalen they get to london jalen hurts reports that feeling funny in his calf from being cleated they check it out they discover a blood clot in his calf a superficial blood clot this is again according to the reporting that we have and they decide it is safe for him to play in this game however there is conflicting reporting about how safe it is for him to sleep before the game pelissero initially reported he didn't sleep for 36 hours leading into the game they then came back and he came back and said well actually he was able to sleep some amount of time leading into the game right after the game Jalen Hurts said you know it was a very interest before we knew about the blood clot situation more on that in a second Well, more on that right now, because they didn't put him on the game day injury report.

They were being very diligent in trying to, in my opinion, cover their bases on everything that did or didn't happen with Jalen Hurts' initial blood clot.
