The NFL and NFLPA are jointly reviewing how Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis was handled, and the stakes here go well beyond one player. This is a serious medical situation, and both sides want answers about whether proper protocols were followed. Expect this review to shape how teams manage player health disclosures going forward.
Shifting to the record books, Aaron Rodgers etched his name a little deeper into NFL history this week, surpassing Peyton Manning on the all-time passing touchdowns list. The milestone came on a second quarter strike to Darnell Washington, and while Rodgers has had his share of turbulent seasons lately, this is a reminder that the numbers don't lie about his place among the all-time greats.
And over in Boston, the Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum situation keeps simmering. Brown says there's no beef with his former Celtics teammate, but the way he keeps referencing a so-called lamb chop instead tells a different story. With their first matchup on the horizon, whatever tension exists between these two is only going to get harder to ignore.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
