It may not be Geno Smith facing the Eagles. He is a longshot according to @RapSheet

How Could Injuries Affect Eagles vs Seahawks Betting Lines?

If it turns out that Hurts can’t answer the bell, the Eagles are a rarity among NFL teams in that they can turn to a very experienced backup. Veteran Marcus Mariota, who started 13 games last season for the Atlanta Falcons, would step in to fill the void.

Slay’s absence is certainly a concern facing the dynamic Seattle WR trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It’s possible that a number of players will see action on the right corner in the Philadelphia secondary in trying to plug the gap. They could include Kelee Ringo, Josh Jobe, Bradley Roby and Eli Ricks. Certainly, this is an area that you might want to be exploring in the Eagles vs Seahawks player props.

Jurgens will be missing his sixth game of the season. Sue Opeta is designated to start in his place, even though Tyler Steen got the start the last game that Jurgens missed.

Cunningham is out for the third time in 2023. Fortunately for the Eagles, they recently signed veteran LB Shaq Leonard. He made his Philadelphia debut last week.

Seattle WR Dee Eskridge (ribs) is questionable. He’s also the club’s top kick returner. Look for punt return man DeeJay Dallas to add kick return duties if Eskridge can’t go.

Julian Love would slot in at SS if Adams can’t play. Tre Bown would start if Witherspoon is unable to go.
