I figured this will cause a ton of confusion. I'm a surgeon and just wanted to clear some things up. SUPERFICIAL blood clots are different than DEEP vein clots or DEEP vein thrombosis (DVTs).

It's been reported that Jalen Hurts has a SUPERFICIAL blood clot. These are different than other blood clots. We have SUPERFICIAL veins and a DEEP vein system in our legs. We worry about DEEP vein clots in the leg because they are dangerous. They can spread to the lungs easier, which can be fatal. These DEEP clots usually require blood thinners which can make ppl bleed. Chris Bosh had to retire due to DVTs. In a contact sport, blood thinners can be a problem.

Jalen Hurts reportedly has a SUPERFICIAL blood clot. Those are treated differently. Usually, rest, elevation and NSAIDs. Ie Ibuprofen. They have a much smaller chance to spread to the lungs. I read that Hurts' clot 'moved' and he won't play. That makes sense. The chance of spread is much smaller but not 0%.

I don't work with athletes, I just will take out your appendix. But when I found out he had a Superficial blood clot, I felt a ton of relief.

I wanted to clarify for some reasonable fans.

In summary, fuck Dallas. Go Birds!

And this season is cursed.

It’s interesting because he’s been one of the best open field tackling DBs. Probably a combination of the added weight and being on the field more.

Are there any medical folks in the sub who can comment on this? Because I’d really like to know how our QB1 was medically cleared to actually play a game of football in the first place with a blood clot.

I never got to see McNabb play but if I did I think he'd be one of my favorite players of all time. Jalen Hurts is my favorite player and I think will eventually be the greatest Eagles player of all time, however it is nice to look back every once and a while.

Hopefully the Jalenites don't come after Kurt Warner with their pitchforks next or label him as someone that "doesn't know ball" for pointing out these missed opportunities.

They don’t usually fuck around with blood clots. Chris Bosh was playing at a high level with the Heat and it pretty much ended his career. More recently Wemby was shut down for the 24-25 season when the doctors found out he had blood clots and ended up having to take blood thinners. With all of the injuries piling up it feels like it might be a lost season.

The Eagles wanted to re-sign Jaelan Phillips, but his $120 million deal with Carolina was beyond their price range. They pivoted to Jonathan Greenard, trading two third-round picks for him, but injuries have delayed his impact in Philadelphia. How will the move work out?

Tanner McKee aka The Mormon Missile aka Joe Flacco 2.0 starts at QB Sunday

Curious to see how he looks in Mannions system. He has good pocket presence and usually stands pretty tall in the pocket as opposed to bailing early. He gets through progressions pretty well. Lemon could be in for a huge day.

Now will the pocket hold up with our rag-tag OL with a bunch of 2nd-4th stringers that have been forced into action

My only wish is that Tom Brady was calling the game so we could get a "what a piss missile from the mormon missile" call...one can dream

Go Birds!

Finally got the eagles room filled. A lot of jerseys and signed stuff. Just bought the Devonta smith signed helmet and finished the chair. I know the team ain’t playing good but I bleed green.
