“It was described to me yesterday that Jalen Hurts was in real jeopardy of missing the game tonight..

I think he’s gonna try to play but I don’t know if he’s going to play” ~ @AdamSchefter #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/9I1vkF51Hi

Rap Sheet: “This is not a cold, this is not a little thing, it’s not actually the flu either.” 

Could be leprosy or bubonic plague, but more than likely it’s COVID. Speculation, of course. I’m not a doctor, but I did get fucking wracked by COVID in October and this particular strain stinks. Keep in mind, however, that Hurts is a pro athlete in his prime and I’m a washed 2x girl dad who stares at a computer screen all day long.

This could be Hurts’ flu game. His Michael Jordan moment. 250 yards and three touchdowns tonight. He converts on the tush push to win, then collapses from exhaustion and we pump him full of fluids and fly that plane solo back to Philadelphia. Get this man some gummy vitamins and an Emergen-C.
