The Eagles announced this week that Jalen Hurts will likely miss the rest of the season due to blood clots in his lungs, which has sparked debate over how the NFL considers their players’ health. We talk with Dr. Brian McDonough about Hurts’s medical diagnosis and The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Eagles beat reporter and host of unCovering the Birds, Jeff McLane, about how the Eagles have handled this reveal. We also hear about charges filed against the man accused of killing Philadelphia police officer Shane Seiber, a cell phone ban in PA public schools, and a chance to hang out with West Philly’s cats.
