To cap off another exciting week of NFL action, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Seattle Seahawks in a Monday Night Football matchup on the road this evening. With two straight losses and a brief forfeiture of the NFC East lead to the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles will be looking to turn things around in Seattle.
The Seahawks, who have dropped their last four games, could be getting close to elimination from playoff contention should they drop another game this evening.

Philadelphia Eagles injury report for Week 15 Monday Night Football
Due to an illness, quarterback Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles was listed as "questionable" for Monday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks. He was added to the injury report on Saturday because of his inability to practice, and reports suggest that he has gone to Seattle on a separate flight from other squad members.
Offensive lineman Cam Jurgens, linebacker Zach Cunningham, and cornerback Darius Slay are all not expected to play because of injuries.
After suffering a concussion during the Philadelphia Eagles' defeat to the Dallas Cowboys last week, safety Reed Blankenship practiced fully on Saturday and is expected to play tonight.
Jalen Hurts' injury status for MNF
Despite Jalen Hurts being unwell and missing the Philadelphia Eagles' Saturday practice, the team did not list him on their initial injury report. But according to reports, his condition worsened overnight, so Philadelphia decided to send him to Seattle on a different plane than the other players.
On Monday evening it was reported that the Eagles QB will lace up for the NFC clash. Marcus Mariota will be the backup tonight.
Darius Slay's injury status for MNF
Week 15's Monday Night Football matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Seattle Seahawks will not feature cornerback Darius Slay.
The seasoned CB has missed several practices in a row and will be out for the game due to arthroscopic knee surgery that he recently had.
The former Mississippi State athlete is anticipated to make a comeback before the end of the season.
Seattle Seahawks injury report for Week 15 Monday Night Football
For their Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Seattle Seahawks have not yet declared any player out. But the Seahawks have labeled five players, including starting quarterback Geno Smith, as "questionable."
Due to injuries that prevented them from practising during the week, cornerback Devon Witherspoon and safety Jamal Adams are both officially categorized as "questionable". Wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) and linebacker Nick Bellore (knee) are also labeled as "questionable" for the game.
Geno Smith's injury status for MNF
Due to a groin problem, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was unable to play against the San Francisco 49ers last week. He also participated in practice in a limited capacity over the week, and his status is labeled as "questionable."
The Hawks will undoubtedly need all the assistance they can get for the game against the Eagles, but as of right now, Smith's chances of participating don't appear to be great.
However, Ian Rapoport reported that the Seahawks will be activating Geno Smith for the showdown at Lumen Field.
While the team has activated him, the starter has not been announced yet. Drew Lock will serve as the backup to Geno if he starts.
Jamal Adams' injury status for MNF
Due to his ongoing knee issues, Jamal Adams might not be able to play against the Eagles.
Adams's hurt quad tendon from the previous season is still causing him pain in his knee. During practice last week, Seattle exercised caution with the veteran's load and even made him miss all practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. It is still unclear if he will be able to suit up against the Eagles as the team continued to designate him as "questionable" throughout the week.
Pete Carroll, the head coach of Seattle, described Adams as a "great player" earlier in the week.
"He's a great player, and I'm trying to maximize his recovery and make sure that he's available to us as much as we possibly can get him," Carroll said (via John Boyle of Seattle Seahawks).
The Seahawks will probably play Quandre Diggs and Julian Love if Adams decides not to participate.
