The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to be available to play in his team’s final regular season game against the New York Giants next Sunday, multiple sources have reported. He is not, however, expected to be included in the Eagles team to face the New Orleans Saints this Sunday.

Hurts’ inclusion in the game against the Giants is expected to be largely dependent on the outcome of the Eagles’ clash with the Saints. Should Philadelphia emerge victorious against the Saints, they will secure their place as the NFC’s number one seed, thereby giving them the luxury of going without Hurts for another week in favor of giving him more recovery time.

League sources have confirmed that should the Eagles fail to defeat the Saints, then there is a high probability that Hurts will be expected to feature in the Giants’ clash.

Despite his exclusion from the Saints’ game, the Eagles are not worried about Hurts’ fitness or recovery from injury. The quarterback was a full participant in the Eagles’ practice sessions this week and the team was reportedly impressed with the speed of his throws.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts picked up a sprain in his right throwing shoulder during his team’s 25-20 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, league sources reported. As a result, the quarterback’s availability for Saturday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys is in doubt.

Hurts’ injury occurred during the third quarter of the Bears’ clash when he was driven to the ground by defensive lineman Trevis Gipson. After spending a few moments on the ground, Hurts was able to rise to his feet and continue playing for the remainder of the game.

It wasn’t the first time I’ve been slow [to get up], it won’t be the last,” Hurts explained following his team’s win. “I did play a really physical game, and it was real cold, too. So happy we were able to find a win and in the end find a way.”

While Hurts’ potential absence from the team on Saturday remains a concern, the Eagles find themselves in a prime position to proceed to the playoffs. A win against the Cowboys will see the Eagles become the number-one seed in the NFC.

In a move that would have seemed inconceivable just a short time ago, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced that they have benched Carson Wentz as their starting quarterback, and that Jalen Hurts will start the team’s Sunday matchup against the Saints.

Wentz, a 2017 Pro Bowler who excelled during his first four seasons as the Eagles’ starting quarterback, is in the midst of a 2020 to forget. This has, of course, coincided with Philadelphia’s disappointing 3-8-1 record.

After throwing only 7 interceptions in each of his past three seasons, Wentz’s inaccuracy has skyrocketed in 2020 as he has thrown 15 interceptions to go along with only 16 touchdowns.

Not only this, but Wentz’s completion percentage of 57.4% sits well below his career average of 62.6%.

With the team’s playoff hopes slim and coach Doug Pederson looking to generate a spark for his struggling team, former Alabama star Jalen Hurts will take the field on Sunday as the team’s #1 option at the position.

The rookie QB, who was selected in the 2nd round by the Eagles in this summer’s NFL Draft, has appeared in 11 games this season, throwing for 142 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.

Hurts won’t have it easy against one of the league’s best teams on Sunday, but it will be his first chance to audition for a job that he could potentially earn on a full-time basis.

Quarterback Carson Wentz seems to be playing worse as the 2020 season progresses, making it difficult for the Philadelphia Eagles to get in control of the weak NFC East. But despite this, Wentz seems to have the support of his head coach Doug Pederson.

Wentz produced another struggling performance in Sunday’s 22-17 loss to Cleveland Browns when he helped the opposing team produce nine points. He first threw a pick-six and later took a sack in his endzone, which resulted in a safety.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Pederson rejected the possibility of benching Wentz and said that this move would send a “bad message” to the rest of the team.

“I think you’re sending the wrong message to your football team that the season is over,” said Pederson. “That’s a bad message.”

After the loss against the Browns, the Eagles are currently sitting on a 3-6-1 result. In any other division, this would have them out of the playoff contention already, but since they play in NFC East, they can still make the postseason.

That will be easier said than done, as Carson Wentz has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL throughout the first 10 games. Although he threw for 2,326 yards, Wentz is completing only 58.4 percent of his passes in 2020 while having the same touchdown-to-interception ratio.

It remains to be seen how long will Pederson support Wentz if he continues to add to his dreadful resume. In case his patience runs out at some point, the Eagles have the 2020 second-round pick Jalen Hurts waiting on the bench.
