Eagles second-round pick Jalen Hurts will start at quarterback for Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.
Hurts will replace Carson Wentz, who will serve as the team's backup.
The 22-year-old Hurts relieved Wentz in the third quarter of Philadelphia's eventual 30-16 loss to the Packers last week. In his first series, the rookie quarterback provided an instant spark by completing a 34-yard pass to rookie wideout Jalen Reagor. During his second drive, Hurts completed a 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Greg Ward for Philadelphia's first touchdown of the game.
