Billings, MT, October 26, 2026 —
The NFL and the NFL Players Association are jointly reviewing the handling of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ diagnosis with multiple blood clots. The review began after the union called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the diagnosis.
The available information does not specify when the diagnosis occurred, what events or decisions are being examined, or who is conducting the review. It also does not provide details about Hurts’ medical condition beyond the report that he was diagnosed with multiple blood clots.
The NFLPA’s request for an investigation preceded the joint review, according to the information provided. No explanation has been given for why the union sought the investigation, and no findings or conclusions from the review have been reported.
The status and expected timeline of the review were not provided. The information also does not say whether the NFL or the NFLPA has announced any actions related to the matter beyond the review itself. Until further details are made public, the scope of the inquiry and the circumstances surrounding Hurts’ diagnosis remain unclear.
The review concerns the handling of a player’s medical diagnosis, but the available account does not identify any alleged error, rule violation or other specific concern. It therefore establishes that the league and players’ association are examining the matter, without detailing what the examination may address or what outcome could follow.
