The Philadelphia Eagles could be in trouble when they take on the Seattle Seahawks come Monday night. 

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, starting quarterback Jalen Hurts has been downgraded to "questionable" versus Seattle. 

Hurts did not practice on Saturday due to an illness, which has only worsened overnight, Schefter reports. 

Schefter adds that Hurts will still travel to Seattle in a separate airplane in an attempt to keep the rest of his teammates from getting sick. 

If Hurts is unavailable on Monday, then backup quarterback Marcus Mariota will start his his place. 

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

This means that Monday night could end up being two backups playing in primetime: Marcus Mariota vs. Drew Lock.
