- In July 2021 during Eagles training camp, Jalen Hurts confirmed to reporters that he had received the COVID-19 vaccine. Multiple contemporaneous reports from The Athletic, and others documented him stating “I have the vaccine.”
- The 2026 season of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is most likely over. Hurts, who played eight days ago with a blood clot in his leg, has been diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism in each lung.
- Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the remainder of the season with blood clots.
There are a lot of stories about this in the sports media.

None of them address the elephant in the room: why does one of the healthiest, most physically fit young men in the world have a blood clot in his leg and pulmonary embolisms in his lungs? Or why the much-maligned Aaron Rodgers doesn’t.
What are the chances Rodgers doesn’t address this on Pat McAfee’s show…
