We've investigated ourselves and found that nothing was done incorrectly.

I guess Fauci did something Steve Spagnuolo couldn't do. Also, prayers to Jalen, hoping he decides to retire, not worth the risk imo.

We, who are far from famous, and our kin, who are also far from famous, find it impossible to talk to medical folk about the medical problems of our kin folk.

So: How the heck will the NFLPA investigate the medical care of Hurts? Also of the comments coming out recently, how do any of these people have clearance to say anything about Hurts' treatments?

I agree this looks absurd, but has anyone asked Hurts what he thought? How can you hold the medical staff or Eagles accountable without asking Hurts? If the player knows the risks and agrees or maybe even pushes to play then I don’t see how the Eagles are liable. If the suggestion is this should have been a hard no without any player involvement, I guess I could understand that also.

your "kin folk" sign contracts and are part of a CBA?

That's exactly the issue. You have to be the bigger person in the room and shut it down when a life threatening medical condition exists

Man, Bama QB's are cursed in the NFL. At least Hurts got a ring, but he doesn't deserve to go out like this. Too short of a career for someone with his ability.

If it was life threatening, I agree. I'm not convinced it actually was at this point.

I certainly think the optics are extremely bad of Hurts being without sleep for possibly 24+ hours when given a possible decision.

This ended up being incorrect. He did sleep.

And it depends on the specific CBA. In hockey, this would still just be an "upper body injury."

Players aren't medical professionals, they are assets of the team. They have their careers, livelihoods, millions of dollars on the line and of course will want to play if they feel like they can

Sure, but where does this stop and start? There's plenty of guys that play HS and College with broken bones for example, Pro's too. Broken fingers for example. That's not GOOD for them.

I'm not trying to protect anyone here, at all. But I also know the media can be full of shite in their story telling.
