The review follows questions about the medical protocols that allowed Hurts to travel to London and play in the Eagles’ Oct. 11 game against Jacksonville. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that the league’s process had been followed, citing a medical evaluation and the work of the NFL’s chief medical officer, Allen Sills.

“Obviously, there was a medical evaluation, and I think our protocols were incredibly good there,” Goodell said. “The protocols were followed.” He said the league welcomed an investigation.

The Eagles and Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, said Monday that Hurts has deep vein thrombosis in his left calf and bilateral pulmonary emboli, meaning clots reached both lungs. He was placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss the rest of the season. His treatment includes blood thinners, which prevent him from participating in football activities while he takes them.

The Eagles previously said Hurts was struck in the calf by a cleat during an Oct. 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. He told the team’s medical staff about the injury after practice Oct. 8, returned to practice the following day and then traveled with the team to London.

Specialists in London initially diagnosed a superficial vein thrombosis in Hurts’ left calf. He played against Jacksonville on Oct. 11. The subsequent diagnosis and the decision-making around his travel and participation are now part of the NFL-NFLPA review.

The review comes as the Eagles lose their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Hurts was named Super Bowl 59 MVP.
