Topeka, KS, October 25, 2026 —
The NFL and the NFL Players Association are jointly reviewing the handling of Jalen Hurts’ blood clot diagnosis, following a request for an investigation from the players’ union.
The available information does not specify when the diagnosis was made, what aspects of its handling are under review, or what prompted the NFLPA’s request. It also does not identify who is conducting the review or provide a timeline for its completion.
No findings or conclusions have been reported in the information provided. The review is described as joint, but further details about how the NFL and NFLPA are coordinating their work were not provided. The information also does not say whether the review has reached any interim conclusions or whether additional steps are expected.
Hurts is identified in the summary as the subject of the blood clot diagnosis. No further details about his medical condition, treatment, or current status were provided, and no statements from Hurts, the NFL, or the NFLPA were included.
The immediate development is the review itself, initiated after the NFLPA requested an investigation. Its scope, process and outcome remain unspecified in the available information. Any conclusions about how the diagnosis was handled would therefore be premature based on the details provided.
