Jalen Hurts Not Named Eagles Starting QB, HC Says It Will Be Open Competition

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni declined to name Jalen Hurts as his starting quarterback Wednesday.

When asked about the team's starting quarterback situation, Sirianni said it will be an open competition, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Hurts is the heavy favorite to start in 2021 after starting the final four games last season, but the Eagles also have veteran Joe Flacco on the roster, plus they could take a quarterback at some point in the 2021 NFL draft.
