NFL Rumors: Eagles Still Believe in Carson Wentz Despite Benching

While Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will make his first-career NFL start on Sunday, team sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the franchise still intends on keeping Carson Wentz and having him be part of the franchise going forward.

According to ESPN, despite Wentz's struggles this season, the Eagles still believe Wentz can return to being a franchise quarterback in the future. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, there are many strong voices within the organization who believe in Wentz. However, Rapoport acknowledges that a series of good starts by Hurts could make Wentz's future with the Eagles more complicated.
