The Philadelphia Eagles are set to visit the White House and President Donald Trump on Monday, however at least one major player is not going to be there.

Former Alabama star quarterback Jalen Hurts is not going to be attending the visit due to a scheduling conflict according to Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News.

A White House official confirms to me that @Eagles quarterback @JalenHurts will not be visiting the White House when the Super Bowl champions come later this afternoon. The White House says Hurts and other players who can’t attend had “scheduling conflicts.”

The Eagles did not visit the White House at all following their last Super Bowl victory in 2018. Several players on the team have been outspoken critics of President Trump.

Hurts was named the Super Bowl MVP after leading Philadelphia to a title over the Kansas City Chiefs and ending their chance at a historic three-peat in what was a complete domination of a performance from the Eagles.

How many players do in fact show up to the event will be something fans across the league will monitor throughout the week.
