Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will play on MNF against Seahawks despite illness

 

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, quarterback Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles (10-3) will suit up and play in Monday’s Week 15 away game against the Seattle Seahawks (6-7). Hurts is currently listed as questionable due to an illness.

Hurts left the team and made his way to Lumen Field alone. Hurts had been unwell all weekend. The 25-year-old was seriously risking missing Monday’s game since he did not practice on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Hurts’ lackluster season from 2022 is primarily attributable to his turnovers this autumn. Nevertheless, on 66.5% of his passes, he has thrown for 3,129 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. On the rush, he has gained 460 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles want to do better against the Seahawks.

The Eagles have just suffered back-to-back lopsided losses to the Dallas Cowboys (10-4) and San Francisco 49ers (11-3), giving up a total 75 points. For the second time in the team’s history, Philadelphia has given up 33 points or more in three successive games, according to NFL.com (Weeks 11–13, 1967). Furthermore, since Week 8, the Eagles have allowed a league-high 428.2 yards per game to the opposition. The defense, which finished the previous season rated second in the NFL, is now ranked 23rd.

This week, Philadelphia made a move, elevating senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia to the position of play-caller. Sean Desai, the defensive coordinator, will relocate to the coaching booth. The Eagles players have been impressed with Patricia, Rapoport continued.

According to head coach Nick Sirianni, the group just needs to “execute better.”

“They need better coaching from us. We have to move them to better locations,” Sirianni remarked. You must explain everything to them. We also needed to perform better. I believe that everyone is aware of that. It’s a team game here. group. “This is the greatest team sport there is,” is something you hear me say all the time. Usually, when I discuss it, I’m speaking of the positive outcomes. However, this is also true when negative things occur.

“To single one person out is not the right move here. It’s, ‘How do we get better as a team?’ And we have to get better as a team, make no mistake about it.”
