The Eagles said Monday that Jalen Hurts has deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. The quarterback is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Why it matters: Hurts was cleared to play and fly after a clot diagnosis. No independent expert was apparently required to clear him.
Where they split: Coverage differs on focus: the team's handling and disclosure, the medicine of clots, or a broadcaster's on-air doubts about the injury.
Center coverage, 10 sources: The center sees a team whose promise of transparency fell short when no medical staff answered questions.
Left coverage, 12 sources: The left sees a health explainer on how a calf injury and long flights can lead to dangerous lung clots.
Right coverage, 3 sources: The right sees a cautionary tale about a broadcaster who questioned Hurts' injury before doctors found lung clots.
What’s next: Hurts is on blood thinners, which patients often take for three to six months.
