Jalen Hurts was overshadowed by backup QB shining bright at Eagles training camp

Training camp isn't just drills. It’s the opening act before the Linc’s roaring symphony. And Eagles fans watch with eyes sharp for signs. Be it the rhythm of a championship encore or the faintest discordant note. Now, the script is taking an unexpected turn. A subplot bubbling under the August sun that’s got more buzz than a late-inning Phillies rally with bases loaded.

Jalen Hurts, the reigning Super Bowl MVP and undisputed field general, turned in a performance Sunday that felt… comfortable. Too comfortable?

Eliot Shorr-Parks clocked Hurts at 14 completions on 18 throws. Solid numbers, sure.
