The biggest question ahead of Monday night's matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks is whether or not Philly's starting quarterback Jalen Hurts will suit up tonight. 

Hurts fell ill on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti, who says Hurts had the "normal fever, chills and body aches"

He practiced every day except for Saturday and was downgraded to "questionable" on Sunday. He also traveled separately from his teammates to Seattle. 

Despite dealing under the weather, Biscotti reports that Hurts is "definitely going to try and play."  

If Hurts doesn't end up suiting up, the Eagles will turn to backup quarterback Marcus Mariota. 

The Seahawks are also dealing with a quarterback crisis as starter Geno Smith is questionable to play due to a groin injury.
