Jalen Hurts pens letter calling for action over 'near-tragic' rail collapse at Washington
CNN
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has penned an open letter calling for follow-up action to what he described as a "near-tragic incident" involving a collapsed railing at the Washington Football Team's FedEx Field on Sunday.
Hurts was entering the tunnel leading to the locker room following a 20-16 Eagles victory -- cheered overhead by excited Eagles fans -- when the railing collapsed, spilling fans onto the ground and missing the 23-year-old quarterback by mere inches.
The Eagles star helped fans to their feet before taking pictures with them -- much to their delight -- but in his open letter to the NFL and the Washington Football Team on Tuesday, said that he had become "extremely concerned" by the incident following the "initial shock."
