Conspiracy Theorists Are Baselessly Linking Jalen Hurts’ Blood Clots To COVID-19 Vaccines

With all that information readily available, conspiracy theories still hit timelines, even on the NFL Network.
After news broke of Jalen Hurts being sidelined for the remainder of the NFL season after blood clots were discovered in his lungs, conspiracy theorists used the moment to spike the football, believing they scored a touchdown.
For those who need a refresher, Jalen Hurts suffered a deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli as a result of what was first diagnosed by medical professionals as a superficial blood clot in his calf on Saturday, October 10, after being cleated during a game against the Rams on October 4, and reporting calf soreness to the team on October 8 after practice.
Hurts was cleared to play and was told not to sleep, staying awake for 36 hours before hitting the field, and played in the entire game. Follow-up scans following the 8-hour return flight from London revealed the blood clot in his calf had moved.
The Eagles did rule Hurts out for the Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers and placed him on the injured reserve list before announcing on Monday, October 19, that blood clots were found in his lungs and that he would be out for the season.
He is expected to make a full recovery, but because he is on blood-thinning medication, he will not be able to play due to the high risk of suffering an injury and not being able to clot.
With all that information readily available, conspiracy theories still hit timelines, even on the NFL Network.
NFL Network analyst and former Pro Bowl fullback and Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks Michael Robinson really went there and claimed that Hurts was using the situation to get out of a lost season so the blame can’t be put on him.
“If I’m just playing devil’s advocate here, and I’m thinking that way, if I’m Jalen Hurts — or anybody in Jalen Hurts’ camp — I’m saying, ‘Well if everybody’s hurt, I’m hurt, too,” Robinson said.
He added, “To me, it looked like Jalen is kind of getting himself out of the fray so that this lost season … he’s pulling himself out so that this doesn’t look like it’s on me.”
After intense backlash and calls for the NFL Network to fire him for his comments, Robinson apologized on social media to Hurts and his family.
“I want to sincerely apologize to Jalen Hurts, his family, the Philadelphia Eagles organization and fan base for my comments last Thursday (October 15),” Robinson said on X (formerly Twitter).
“They were unfounded and I never should’ve speculated on a health issue of a player nor his commitment to his team.”
Robinson is not the only person pushing nonsense. COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theorists were quick to link Hurts blood clots to taking the life-saving shot, without a shred of evidence.
This whole situation is turning out to be a whole mess, with many fairly calling out the Eagles’ medical personnel and other people close to the situation for allowing Hurts to play on no sleep and with blood clots.
We will have to wait for Hurts to break his silence, but until then, you can see more reactions to the conspiracy theories below.
