BREAKING NEWS Hurts out for season with multiple blood clots in his lungs (support thread)

[plymkr]

Wow that is horrible.

I’m glad they said he’s stable and the prognosis is good. That’s encouraging.

 

[Bagman]

Not a fan of the player/team but I'm very respectful of the man. I wish Jalen a speedy recovery. Get well, my man.

 

[RandyOh]

omg. this is wild news. Prayers for a full recovery for Jalen.

The timeline is weird and begs investigating. He flies to London, ends up in the hospital, isn't allowed to sleep because it's too risk, is discharged at 4AM and then plays a game?

 

[Kevinicus]

He should recover fully as long as he doesn’t have to stay on blood thinners forever. The emboli probably occurred on the long plane ride home.

Where I am confused is the superficial clot due to a cleat. Yet, he spent the night before the game in the hospital for DVT. Maybe it was from the week before, IDK.

From my understanding the cleating occurred in the Rams game the week before the London game.

Woah, that is tough to here. That is some scary stuff.

Such a great dude that handles himself with class.

As a critical care RN I have witnessed far too many devastating outcomes associated with pulmonary emboli; in many cases care comes too late; so kudos to the medical staff for their quick intervention.
Hoping Jalen is able to fully recover and get back on the football field next year.

Hate Philly and the eagles and their fans but Hurts is a class act and wouldn’t want this on anyone, praying for his full recovery, even though I know most Philly fans wouldnt wish the same if the tables were turned

Ok, THIS is more serious. Not just a minor superficial blood clot. I have a feeling it’s from the flight….if he had a true coagulopathy, I think it would have surfaced earlier, like Tommy Frazier. Hope for his sake it’s flight related vs true blood disorder, needs to be on anti-coats for a few months, see a hematologist rule out coagulopathy.

This goes way beyond football, and our hate for the Eagles organization

edit: sorry Mods pls change title to lungs, not legs

oh damn best wishes to him - thankfully they caught it.

Damn,get better jaylen,no one deserves this,my brother had this and he passed..**** was brutal.

 

[StarLord]

I'm glad they detected it. Fingers crossed they are successful he has a long happy life.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

I like Jalen. Always have…

I know he plays for the Eagles and the rivalry is supposed to make you have contempt for their team and players, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen with certain players. As a Heels fan, I had the same reaction with Grant Hill.

Obviously glad that Jalen avoided a significant PE. Very dangerous…

Sending prayers up so that blessings come down to you Mr. Hurts.
Get well soon.

My wife just had her second blood clot and will likely be on blood thinners for the rest of her life. She can't even ride on a rollercoaster, so I hope it gets resolves for Hurts.

 

[kevsstang]

Sending prayers for Jalen. He is lucky a medical professional caught this. My wife almost died from pulmonary emboli at the end of last year. The Doctor said if I didn't get her there that night she would have died by morning.
