Newswise — It was just announced that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in his lungs (bilateral pulmonary emboli).
His agent announced on X that he also has a deep vein thrombosis and will be undergoing anticoagulation treatment (blood thinners). He will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities.
As you cover this, University of Michigan Health has multiple experts who can speak about blood clots, including DVT and pulmonary embolism, causes, symptoms, treatments, etc**.**
