“The current diagnosis is a deep vein thrombosis,” she wrote. “As well as bilateral pulmonary emboli. He is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations… 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.”
According to NBC News, Hurts played last on Sunday, October 11 in London. The Eagles also released a statement, per Bleacher Report stating that doctors said Hurts could “safely play” on October 11.
“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough,” reads the statement. “The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia… On Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot. Jalen will be out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment. His health and safety are our highest priority.”
