The Philadelphia Eagles are making the anticipated change at quarterback. Jalen Hurts will replace Carson Wentz when the Eagles take on the New Orleans.
Eagles’ HC Doug Pederson is naming Jalen Hurts his new starting quarterback and the rookie will start Sunday vs. the New Orleans Saints, sources tell @AdamSchefter and me. Carson Wentz will back up Hurts.

Hurts stepped in for Wentz during the Green Packers’ victory over the Eagles on Sunday.
Hurts was a second-round pick out of Oklahoma in 2020. The quarterback played at Alabama before transferring.
