THEY TOLD Jalen Hurts NOT TO SLEEP 🤯 YET THEY STILL LET HIM PLAY. Are you kidding me right now???? FIRE THE ENTIRE @Eagles MEDICAL STAFF NOW. THIS IS BLATANT MALPRACTICE.

Jalen Hurts was told by doctors not to sleep after his initial diagnosis of a superficial blood clot while in London. Hurts stayed awake for roughly 36 hours before starting against the Jaguars. (per @TomPelissero)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tom Pelissero, the source cited, later clarified after speaking to Jalen Hurts' agent that Hurts was able to sleep after hospital evaluation and felt rested to play. x.com/TomPelissero/s… cbssports.com/nfl/news/jalen… sportingnews.com/us/nfl/philade…

#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs, has been undergoing tests for days. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played without having slept.

I’m firmly in the camp if you have to stay awake for 36 hours before kickoff so you don’t die from a blood clot you should probably skip playing that game.

"I wanted essays that could stand alone, pieces that still had something relatively worthwhile to say years after publication. My first assembled manuscript contained 165 essays and more than 124,000 words." ❤️📚✍️

Trump actually posted this AI video of him with a tiger in the middle of the night. This man is demented and mentally unwell.

This was a great piece by Mary. I still haven’t seen Wall-E! I hear so much about it, I’ll have to put it on the list.
