When the Indianapolis Colts came into the 2021 season with Jacob Eason as Carson Wentz’s backup, fans really had hoped the organization’s confidence in the former fourth-round pick was as true as can be.
Unfortunately, we learned this week that it is indeed not.
Wentz, who is dealing with two sprained ankles, was in danger of missing the team’s Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans, but he was active on Sunday. However, before and after that news dropped, the writing seemed to be on the wall for Eason’s future in Indy.
On Thursday, it was reported quarterback Brett Hundley was elevated from the practice squad and took a majority of the first-team reps, even though it was suggested Eason would split time with the former Packers QB should Wentz not be able to suit up.
