Wow, scary stuff. Best wishes for a speedy and healthy recovery.
Breaking: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday due to a superficial blood clot.
Full statement from the #Eagles on QB Jalen Hurts:
“On Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf. He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practice report.
“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough. 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.
“Jalen played without limitation in the game Sunday, received treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and practiced in full on Wednesday, as reflected in the practice report. Throughout our time in London and this week, we have remained in communication with the league office regarding the matter.
"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.”

In all best-of-seven postseason series, teams with a 3-0 lead have gone on to win the series 41 of 42 times (98%), with 32 of those series being sweeps
Only two teams have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 + only the 2004 Red Sox, in the ALCS, have come all the way back to win
🔵 Jackson Chourio: 3rd career leadoff Postseason HR
🟡 Jake Bauers: 11-pitch HR
🔵 Garrett Mitchell: 3rd back-to-back HR in franchise Postseason history
The @Brewers are 1 win away from a World Series appearance!

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters in L.A. that Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup for Game 3.
As reported last night: If Ohtani deemed himself healthy enough to play, he was going to play, regardless of his slump.
Sounds like that's what he communicated.
