What happened: The NFLPA seeks a full review of how Hurts' blood-clot case was handled by Philadelphia. Tim McManus detailed the union request after Jeremy Fowler shared it. Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 on Friday.

Why it matters: Philadelphia's starting quarterback determines game planning and roster moves during his absence. A union-led review could set standards for handling blood-clot cases around the league.

What to watch: Philadelphia's response and any decision on a formal review are the next steps.
