Jalen Hurts made his first NFL start on Sunday, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a much-needed win over the New Orleans Saints. Less than a day later, head coach Doug Pederson announced that the Eagles will be sticking with Hurts at quarterback for at least another week, and won’t be re-inserting Carson Wentz.
“After going through the film and really looking back even to last week, and the preparation and everything, I’m going to continue with Jalen this week as the starter,” Pederson said.
Pederson wasn’t ready to make the public commitment to Hurts right away.
