Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is facing uncertainty as an illness has raised concerns about his availability for Monday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Multiple reports have revealed that Hurts flew on a separate plane to avoid getting others sick. The star quarterback's status adds to an already cloudy injury report for the Eagles, who will be missing several key players, including Cam Jurgens, Darius Slay, and Zach Cunningham.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks are also dealing with potential uncertainties as they have notable players listed as questionable for Monday's game. Starting quarterback Geno Smith, who missed last week's game due to a groin injury, appears to be a game-time decision. In addition, Jamal Adams, Devon Witherspoon, and Nick Bellore, all important contributors to the Seahawks' defense, are also listed as questionable with various injuries.

Hurts, who hasn't missed a start since Week 17 last season, has been a vital player for the Eagles. Despite battling an illness, he traveled separately from the team to Seattle, demonstrating his commitment to the game. The Alabama and Oklahoma alum has had an impressive season, recording 3,192 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, while also accumulating 460 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.

The Eagles, currently tied with the Dallas Cowboys for first place in the NFC East, are in a crucial position to secure a playoff spot. However, they have suffered two consecutive losses, including a defeat against the Cowboys, which pushed them down to the second position in the NFC. Seeding is now essential for the Eagles, and every game holds significant importance.

In addition to Hurts, the Eagles are also dealing with key losses throughout their roster. Starting cornerback Darius Slay is out after undergoing knee surgery, while linebacker Zach Cunningham and right guard Cam Jurgens are also unavailable. The team's offense has been struggling, having been outscored 75-32 in their last two losses.

The Seahawks, who are also fighting for a playoff spot with a 6-7 record, will be a tough challenge for the Eagles. The Packers currently hold the final wild card spot with the same record as the Seahawks, making this game crucial for both teams.

The Eagles are hoping that Hurts' illness will subside, allowing him to help the team snap their losing streak and get back on track in their pursuit of a Super Bowl. With their playoff dreams still alive, the Eagles aim to regain their offensive prowess and secure a favorable seeding in the remaining games against the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals.
