Monroe El Dorado, LA, October 21, 2026 —
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league welcomes an investigation into the Philadelphia Eagles’ management of Jalen Hurts’ blood clots. The statement followed a request from the players’ union and was made in New York during the NFL’s annual fall meeting.
The information provided does not identify the union by name or describe the investigation’s scope, who will conduct it, or when it is expected to begin. It also does not specify what aspects of the Eagles’ management of Hurts’ blood clots are to be examined.
No further details were provided about Hurts’ medical situation, the team’s decisions, or the circumstances that led the union to request an investigation. The available account also does not say whether the league or the Eagles have announced any next steps.
Goodell’s statement establishes the league’s position on the requested review: the NFL welcomes an investigation. It does not, on its own, provide findings about the team’s handling of the matter or indicate whether any rules or procedures were breached.
The statement was made at the league’s annual fall meeting in New York. No date for the meeting or additional comments from Goodell, the Eagles, Hurts, or the players’ union were included in the information available.
