⁍ Nate Sudfeld was the No. 2 quarterback in the Eagles’ Week 1 loss to the Washington Football Team and did not play.
⁍ ESPN’s Chris Mortensen tweeted that fans shouldn’t speculate that Wentz’s starting job could be in jeopardy after he was sacked eight times and threw two key interceptions behind a makeshift offensive line last week.
– The Philadelphia Eagles have a new backup quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams—and he’s not Carson Wentz. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen tweeted Sunday that the Eagles have activated rookie Jalen Hurts to back up Wentz, who threw two interceptions and was sacked eight times in the team’s loss to the Washington Redskins last week. “Carson Wentz is entrenched as @Eagles starter,” he wrote. “Jalen Hurts can give them a different option if a couple situations present themselves.” Hurts, a running back, started his college career at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma.
