The Eagles’ charter flight to Seattle Sunday will not have their starting quarterback on it.

A league source said Jalen Hurts was still not feeling well a day after missing the team’s Saturday practice because of an illness and the decision was made for him not to fly with the team for Monday night’s game against the Seahawks. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the news.
