Jalen Hurts
Can He Return To Football???
Published
Not only could Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts‘ pulmonary embolisms have easily killed him … his current treatment could leave the star player seriously damaged from bleeding if he were tackled.
Doctor David Abbasi joined Jakson on TMZ’s “In The Know” Tuesday … and discussed how blood clots can be fatal and how Jalen’s multiple pulmonary embolisms — which are blood clots that appear in the lungs — clog the ability of the lungs to oxygenate the rest of the body.
As for how Jalen got his initial blood clot in his leg — that later traveled to his lungs — Abbasi believes that the blood clot formed after he suffered tissue damage from catching a cleat to the leg earlier in October.
Abbasi also shared that being on a long flight to London could also have caused a blood clot to form.
And while Jalen is getting the help he needs with blood thinners … Abbasi says he could be out for 3 to 6 months since the risk of a hit or tackle causing serious damage from bleeding is so high.
We reported earlier … Jalen had initially been diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his calf by doctors.
Later … multiple clots were found in his lungs. The NFL Players Association has since demanded the league investigate the medical care Jalen received.
