The NFL has confirmed they're launching an investigation into Jalen Hurts' medical care and blood clot diagnosis ... after the player was sidelined for the rest of the season.
The league confirmed the probe into about how the Philadelphia Eagles handled the diagnosis in a joint statement with the National Football League Players Association Sunday.
Their statement reads ... "The NFL and NFL Players Association are working together to review the matter."
Not only could Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' pulmonary embolisms have easily killed him ... his current treatment could leave the star player seriously damaged from bleeding if he were tackled.
Doctor David Abbasi joined Jaksonon TMZ's "In The Know" Tuesday ... and discussed how blood clots can be fatal and how Jalen's multiple pulmonary embolisms -- which are blood clots that appear in the lungs -- clog the ability of the lungs to oxygenate the rest of the body.
As for how Jalen got his initial blood clot in his leg -- that later traveled to his lungs -- Abbasi believes that the blood clot formed after he suffered tissue damage from catching a cleat to the leg earlier in October.
The NFL Players Association is calling on the league to conduct a full investigation into the medical care that Jalen Hurts received ... after his season-ending blood clot diagnosis.
The NFLPA wrote in a statement ... "The NFLPA is not aware of any NFL investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts. In fact, the league previously informed the union that it did not plan to review the care he received."
They added ... "Before conclusions are drawn about how this situation was handled, there must be a full investigation into what occurred. Determining the facts is essential to ensuring players receive the highest level of care and protection going forward."
We reported earlier ... the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was sidelined for the remainder of the season after being placed on the injured reserve list.
At first, his doctors diagnosed Jalen with a superficial blood clot in his calf following a Week 4 game ... but Jalen's agent said that the clot in his leg "went to his lung," where multiple clots were found.
Jalen's agent also confirmed the athlete has to take blood thinners ... and most importantly, avoid physical exertion.
As for the Eagles ... they're off to a slow start with a 2-4 record. Here's hoping that Jalen rests up and gets back to full health.

8:08 AM PT --Jalen Hurts agent released a statement ... "This is extremely serious. A pulmonary embolism is what killed my dad very suddenly and unexpectedly.
