SEATTLE — Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts and Seattle QB Geno Smith were both active for Monday night's game despite each dealing with ailments.
Both players had been listed as questionable. Hurts traveled separately from his teammates to Seattle due to an illness, while Smith was uncertain because of a groin injury that caused him to miss last week's loss at San Francisco.
While Hurts' availability depended on how he was feeling, Smith's situation required going though an extensive workout. Smith went through his normal pregame routine about two hours before kickoff and appeared to be moving well.
Smith hasn't played since Nov. 30 against Dallas, when he threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-35 loss. He suffered the groin strain in practice on Dec. 7 and was a limited participant all this week.
While Smith was able to go, Seattle was without starting safety Jamal Adams (knee) and standout rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon (hip) after neither participated in practice this week. Witherspoon was injured against the 49ers.
Philadelphia had already ruled out starting right guard Cam Jurgens, cornerback Darius Slay and linebacker Zach Cunningham.
