What happened: The NFLPA asked for a full review of the diagnosis and treatment of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts's lung blood clots. Hurts will miss the remainder of the season after doctors found multiple clots.

Why it matters: Losing a starting quarterback for the season reshapes Philadelphia's offense and depth chart. The request adds formal union scrutiny to the medical handling, following the NFLPA's earlier push for an investigation.

By the numbers: Hurts completed 294 of 454 passes for 3,224 yards with 25 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 16 games in 2025. The Eagles drafted him 53rd overall in 2020 out of Oklahoma.

What to watch: Next comes any response on the scope and timing of a review. Philadelphia must also settle its quarterback plan with Hurts sidelined.
