“Just a reminder ya’ll, be grateful,” Pamela said in a TikTok video in which she seemingly walked around a residence while filming hardwood. “Be grateful for where you are and what you have because your life could change at a blink of an eye. Be grateful. What are you grateful for?”

Hurts, 28, initially had been identified by London specialists with a left calf superficial vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot in the left calf, after present process an ultrasound prior to the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, according to a assertion launched Monday by the workforce and his agent Nicole Lynn.
He performed in 19-17 loss to Jacksonville in London despite only sleeping for roughly seven and a half hours due to being in the hospital before the recreation, according to ESPN.
Further testing revealed that Hurts suffered from deep vein thrombosis and a bilateral pulmonary emboli, which are blood clots on the lungs, per the assertion.
Hurts is expected to be sidelined for at least three months, per ESPN, which means in a best-case situation he could return mid-playoffs.
“He is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations. His treatment should only involve anticoagulation [i.e., ‘blood thinners’],” the launch said. “During this time, he will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities, including football. Jalen’s prognosis is very good, and we expect a full recovery. We anticipate that he will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners. In the meantime, he will remain active around the team and continue to condition. More importantly, we anticipate that he will have no long-term effects.”
The Eagles first revealed the seriousness of the scenario going through Hurts last Thursday when they announced he would miss the Week 6 residence contest against the Panthers due to a blood clot in his calf.

“It was a very unique experience, to say the least,” Hurts said last week. “I don’t want to get into the details of kind of leading up to the game and whatnot, but got nicked up in the Rams game.”
The Eagles turned to Tanner McKee in Hurts’ absence and fell 25-14 to Carolina to drop to 2-4, and they are tied for second with the Cowboys behind the Giants in the NFC East.
Hurts has been a fixed for Philadelphia since turning into the workforce’s beginning quarterback late in the 2020 season, beginning at least 15 video games in each of the last 5 seasons.
He led the workforce to two Super Bowl appearances in that span, including a Super Bowl 2025 triumph against the Chiefs in a rematch of the Super Bowl 2023 loss to Kansas City.
Philadelphia next hosts the Cowboys on “Monday Night Football” in Week 7 in a recreation that could finally outline both workforce’s seasons.
