The Philadelphia Eagles have named rookie Jalen Hurts their starter quarterback for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
A second-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, Hurts gets the nod over former No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz, who has struggled for much of the 2020 season.
After flashing some potential in Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, Hurts will get his first NFL start against one of the league’s better defenses.
