Via Jeff Neiburg of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Hurts told reporters on Wednesday that he was dealing with an illness last week. He had one specific symptom after the Monday night loss to the Falcons — his voice was scratchy and hoarse.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback could hardly talk after Monday’s loss to Atlanta, but that didn’t prevent him from addressing his teammates.

Philadelphia has a league-high four losses when holding the lead in the final two minutes in the fourth quarter since the start of last season. Three of which came last year, two were part of the epic collapse which the Eagles lost six of the final seven games after a 10-1 start.
