We’re just 15 days away from the start of the Eagles training camp and that means plenty of talk about Jalen Hurts, Jonathan Gannon, and Philadelphia’s playoff prospects for 2022.
Jalen Hurts had a solid and impressive offseason by all accounts and as the Eagles closed out OTAs, the third-year quarterback reportedly lit up the defense with timely decisions and accurate throws.
Dallas Goedert and other Philadelphia offensive players praised Hurts throughout the offseason, but that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from cycling back to Hurts potentially getting replaced in 2023.
In a recent episode of Sports Take, longtime Eagles insider Derrick Gunn had this to say Hurts reportedly struggling during one of his final offseason workouts.

A.J. Brown immediately jumped on the comments and was having none of the reports, disputing the notion and putting some media members on notice that any unwarranted criticism of Hurts will be defended by those closest to the quarterback.
That practice stuff about Jalen is fake . Y’all tweet and believe anything. Like how can he get sacked on 7on7 and there aren’t any rushers. I believe water is above us . Believe that too and make a article about that too . This app is crazy 😂
