Report: Eagles plan to give Hurts most snaps this season on MNF
Jalen Hurts could be in for a big role in prime time.
The Philadelphia Eagles plan to give their rookie backup quarterback his highest snap count so far this season Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Carson Wentz reportedly won't be on the field during Hurts' increased playing time, a change of pace from the rest of this season.
Hurts, 22, has carried the ball 12 times, made one catch, and attempted two passes in 2020; Wentz was on the field for all of those plays.
The second-round pick is reportedly unlikely to get an entire series, but the Eagles could give him two or three plays at a time.
Wentz has faced heavy criticism this season amid Philadelphia's disappointing campaign. The 27-year-old leads the NFL with 14 interceptions.
