DEC 18 HURTS PLAYING Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (illness) is “feeling well enough to go” and will play tonight against the Seattle Seahawks, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Hurts traveled to Seattle separately from the team after popping up on the Saturday injury report with an undisclosed illness. DEC 17 HURTS QUESTIONABLE Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts now appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday night’s game at the Seattle Seahawks. Hurts, who was a DNP at Saturday’s practice due to illness, has been downgraded to questionable after his condition “worsened overnight,” per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“Eagles are downgrading QB Jalen Hurts to questionable for Monday night’s game in Seattle after his sickness worsened overnight, per a source,” Schefter tweeted. “Hurts still is harboring hopes of playing Monday night, and is traveling to Seattle separately from the team so as to try not get anyone else sick.” DEC 16 JALEN HURTS SICK Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out of Saturday’s practice due to an illness, per Eagles reporter Jeff McLane. He is expected to travel with the team to Seattle for Monday night’s meeting with the Seahawks.
Hurts missing a practice for any reason is always going to raise some eyebrows, but Eagles fans can breath a sign of relief knowing that this isn’t an issue with the lingering knee injury that he’s been battling this season.
Ask Hurts, and he’d probably say that an illness will be the last thing to prevent from facing the Seahawks in a game that Philly needs to win to keep themselves in control of their own destiny to the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. This season, Hurts has gone 286 of 430 passing for 3,192 yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 picks to go along with 126 carries for 460 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.
