Coach Nick Sirianni said after Thursday's preseason loss to the Patriots that Hurts (illness) was held out due to pain in his stomach, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

According to Sirianni, Hurts didn't feel well when he arrived at Lincoln Financial Field and attempted to go through pregame warmups, but he couldn't get past it and was scratched shortly before the contest. Hurts was evaluated at the hospital, and afterward Sirianni told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network that the QB is "fine now. He's doing OK now." Hurts missed out on a chance to get in some reps with college teammate and 2021 first-round receiver DeVonta Smith, who made his pro debut Thursday, but the team has one more exhibition Friday, Aug. 27 at the Jets to get that connection going.
