Will Jalen Hurts Play vs. Seahawks After Missing Practice Due to an Illness

The Eagles might have just gotten hurt with this Jalen Hurts update! According to sources, the QB missed the Saturday practice ahead of the Seahawks game due to an illness. Additionally, defensive end, Josh Sweat, was also absent from the practice session due to personal reasons, according to the same source.

Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News writer Zach Berman made the breaking recently on his social media account. The offensive leader and the defensive player missing could be a big problem for the Iggles, who are looking to reclaim their NFC lead with a win. But will the two play on Monday after the absence?

Is Jalen Hurts set to miss the Seahawks game?

Thankfully, Berman reassured in the post that both were expected to play the game. Neither an illness nor a personal reason is as demotivating as an injury or a concussion protocol, so the fans can be happy and hopeful about both of their sightings.

With the win, the Eagles will become the joint NFC leaders alongside the 49ers whereas the Seahawks can claim the 2nd spot overtaking the Rams, and potentially pushing for a playoff spot.
