The Eagles released their list of inactives for Monday night, and quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to start tonight’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Hurts was downgraded to questionable on Sunday with an illness, flying separately from the rest of the team for precautionary reasons and is now feeling well enough to play.

The Eagles will be without three key starters for tonight’s contest, as linebacker Zach Cunningham, guard Cam Jurgens, and cornerback Darius Slay are three starters for the Eagles who are out tonight with their respective injuries.
Newly acquired All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard will likely start and see an increase in defensive snaps with Cunningham inactive.
Sua Opeta or Tyler Steen will start at right guard for Jurgens.
LB Zach Cunningham
Cunningham will miss his second game of the season, this time with a knee injury.
OL Cam Jurgens
The former Nebraska star will miss the contest with a pectoral injury.
QB Tanner McKee (3rd QB):
The rookie will serve as the emergency quarterback and can only play if Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota get injured.
TE Albert Okwuegbunam
With three tight ends active, Okwuegbunam will not dress.
RB Rashaad Penny
Penny will be inactive again, and he’s played just 11 offensive snaps this season in two games played.
CB Darius Slay
The veteran cornerback underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last week, forcing him to miss an unknown amount of time.
