Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 15:14 · Archive

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made his first visit to the team's facility since being diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs that will sideline him for the rest of the season.

Jalen Hurts made a rare appearance at the Philadelphia Eagles' facility on Wednesday, his first visit since being diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs. The quarterback attended several team meetings in what was described as a morale boost, with some teammates seeing him for the first time since his diagnosis.

Hurts, 28, last played in Week 5 against the Jaguars in London. He initially suffered an injury during Week 4 that required medical treatment. An ultrasound before the Jaguars game revealed a blood clot in his left calf, but team and London doctors determined he could safely play. A follow-up ultrasound revealed the blood clot had developed into deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, or blood clots in his lungs. He was ruled out for the following week and placed on injured reserve, with ESPN reporting he would miss at least three months due to the need for blood-thinning medication.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said he was in constant communication with Hurts and knew he was resting and recovering. "I miss him like crazy," Sirianni said. "We're all still praying for him and hoping for a speedy recovery." The Daily Mail reports that the NFL is investigating the Eagles' decision to play Hurts against the Jaguars despite the blood clot diagnosis.
