Jalen Hurts’ heath has become a question that reaches beyond the Eagles. The NFL and players’ union are facing off, and the quarterback’s decision to align himself with the team’s messaging on his blood clots adds another layer of intrigue. Why are the league and union at odds? And why did Hurts choose to stand behind the franchise’s account of events?
I joined Jim Rome on The Jim Rome Show to unpack that dispute, the questions surrounding Hurts’ health and why his position matters in the broader disagreement. Jim and I also discussed Chris Ballard’s end in Indianapolis and why he got nearly 10 years and multiple coaches and quarterbacks to try and get things right. Ballard’s exit also leaves a pressing question for Shane Steichen: Is he fighting for his job? We look at what has changed for the Colts and Steichen.
Tune in and enjoy the conversation. And as always, thank you for supporting NFL Blue Book.
