Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with blood clots, and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders sent a message of support.

On Tuesday, Sanders began his press conference by saying he is “praying” for Hurts

“I know what he’s dealing with. I know what he’s going through. I’m praying for him,” Sanders said. “I pray to God that he’s not out for the rest of his career.”

Hurts was ruled out of the past game due to blood clots being found in his calf. He was then placed on Injured Reserve on Monday, and Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, stated that he could miss three months depending on how everything turns out.

Deion Sanders dealt with blood clots in recent years, so he sure knows what Hurts is going through at this moment.

It was reported that Hurts stayed up 36 hours just to play in the Oct. 4 game, which led fans to wonder why the Eagles even allowed their star QB to play in the first place with the health issue.

Nick Sirianni then got into a tense exchange with a reporter on Monday after the Hurts news surfaced, so it’s a difficult time in Philadelphia for the organization and Jalen Hurts.
