Dr. Ramos & Zach Bye discuss Jalen Hurts’ blood clots | Injury Insights
Dr. Ramos joins Zach Bye to break down Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ reported blood clot condition and explain what happens when blood clots develop inside the body.
Starting with a cleat injury to the calf, Dr. Ramos explains how a superficial blood clot can potentially progress into the deeper veins, break loose, and travel to the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
They also discuss how prolonged immobility during air travel can increase the risk of blood clots and why blood thinners are necessary to prevent further complications. For an NFL quarterback, taking blood thinners creates an additional concern: the risk of serious internal bleeding from a hit or head injury.
