Jalen Hurts traveled to Seattle separate from the rest of his Philadelphia Eagles teammates for Monday night’s game against the Seahawks, and time will tell if he was sending a message with his outfit.
Hurts has been battling an illness for several days. He did not practice on Friday because of it and was then downgraded to questionable on Sunday after he reportedly began feeling worse the night before.
Despite having a fever and body aches, Hurts still got to Seattle. He had the Jordan Brand logo proudly displayed on his hat and shirt when he arrived.

Arguably the most famous performance of Michael Jordan’s legendary came in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, when he was severely ill with flu-like symptoms. He scored 38 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a pivotal win en route to one of their six NBA titles.
If Hurts is dealing with similar symptoms and plays on Monday night, he will have a chance to be remembered for a “flu game” of his own.
