Jalen Hurts is active to start vs. Seahawks Monday night

After pulling up to Lumen Field Monday afternoon rocking Jordan gear, Jalen Hurts will have his version of a Michael Jordan flu game Monday night.

Hurts was sick for a few days and was downgraded to questionable this weekend, but he will tough it out and is active and will play against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Hurts missed practice on Saturday with that illness and when he woke up on Sunday morning, he was still sick, hence the Eagles downgrading him to questionable. Hurts flew to Seattle by himself to try and keep his teammates healthy.

Even though he is active, Hurts should still be monitored throughout the night. Marcus Mariota will back him up if necessary.

The Eagles are already without three key starters in Darius Slay (knee), Zach Cunningham (knee), and Cam Jurgens (pectoral).
