PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Eagles will be without Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts when the team visits the White House to celebrate the championship on Monday.
Reports indicate that Hurts and others will not be at the White House when the Eagles meet President Trump due to “scheduling conflicts.”
Meanwhile, running back Saquon Barkley spent the day with the president on Sunday and traveled to Washington aboard Air Force One.
It’s unknown what other players will be holdouts for the Eagles’ trip to the nation’s capital.
What we know:
Super Bowl LIX MVP Jalen Hurts will be among other players who will not make the trip to the White House, reports citing the White House say.
