unforgivable
The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?
PLEASE PRAY FOR JALEN HURTS
"I had a calf injury that ended up being a pulmonary embolism..
The blood clots left my calf & got into my bloodstream..
They went thru my heart & ended up in my lungs..
I've been on blood thinners ever since & I'll be on them for the rest of my life" ~ @KirkHerbstreit

Jameis Winston was asked if he’s hearing any chatter about getting benched after the Giants traded for J.J. McCarthy:
“I’m just grateful for the opportunity I have now.
Right now, I get to smile and say, ‘I’m the starting QB for the New York Football Giants.’
What I want is to win games with my team and be the best I can be. I’m heating up. Last week I was questioning if I could even throw. This week people are talking about the Jameis Winston Experience again.
I’m still curious and inspired to be the best version of me every day. That alone pushes me. Not another man. Not another teammate. Just my desire to be what I want to be.”
