The National Football League said it will not discipline the Philadelphia Eagles over the way the club handled quarterback Jalen Hurts’ clearance to return for the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, multiple reports said.
According to the reports, the league reviewed the Eagles’ process for evaluating Hurts after he was diagnosed with a blood clot and determined that the team followed appropriate protocols before allowing him to play.
The decision means the Eagles face no fines, suspensions or other sanctions related to the incident, and Hurts remains eligible to start for Philadelphia in the upcoming game.
The NFL’s disciplinary office typically steps in when a club is believed to have violated league health‑and‑safety rules, but officials concluded that the Eagles acted within the league’s guidelines in this case.
Hurts’ return comes as the Eagles prepare to host the Jaguars, and the league’s ruling removes any potential off‑field distraction for the team as the season progresses.
