Jalen still believes that he can be on the field and is making the trip to Seattle separately from his teammates to keep them healthy and avoid getting anyone sick.
If he is unable to play, Philly would turn to reserve QB Marcus Mariota. There are also no assurances if their opponent QB1 Geno Smith will be on the field, who is doubtful with a groin problem.
The Eagles QB’s chances to be on the field are higher by flexing their organization’s match to Monday instead of the originally scheduled match between the Chiefs and Patriots. If the 2 opponents played today, Hurts would have been sidelined for sure.
