Former NFL team doctor addresses Jalen Hurts' blood clot as QB's season hinges on one key word
Dr. David Chao explains why one word in the Eagles' statement about Jalen Hurts' blood clot could signal a long-term or season-ending absence.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Jalen Hurts being sidelined because of a blood clot, but they frame the story differently. ABC News simply says he is out of Sunday’s game, while Fox News centers a former NFL team doctor and says one word in the Eagles’ statement could indicate a long-term or season-ending absence. The doctor’s interpretation appears only in Fox News’ extract.
