Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts to play vs. Seahawks despite dealing with an illness

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts will play in the Eagles Monday night matchup vs. the Seattle Seahawks despite dealing with an illness

Darius Slay’s surgery news isn’t the only adversity Philadelphia is dealing with this weekend.

According to Adam Schefter, Eagles All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts (illness) is expected to play Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks despite missing the week’s final practice and flying separately to Seattle.

The MVP candidate has logged 3,192 passing yards with 19 touchdowns and ten interceptions in 13 starts this season.

Hurts also has 430 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.

The Eagles will be without Slay (knee), offensive guard Cam Jurgens (pectoral), and linebacker Zack Cunningham (knee) as they try to break a two-game losing streak.
