According to head coach Frank Reich, the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback job is 2nd-year passer Jacob Eason’s ‘job right now’ (via The Athletic’s Zak Keefer):
“The job is Jacob’s right now … and he’s gotta earn it. But he’s in the driver’s seat.” — Frank Reich on Jacob Eason with Carson Wentz out the next several weeks

The strong vote of confidence from his head coach comes just minutes after it was reported that starting quarterback Carson Wentz will miss 5-12 weeks—after electing for surgery to correct his recently injured foot.
