Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday that Hurts has "embraced" the new offense and is "excited about it" headed into the season, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
"I think Jalen's adjusted really well to the new offense," Roseman said. "Now again, we're at a moment in time, we haven't played a game. This isn't in reference to Jalen; this is in reference to anything else. I think that a lot of the things that we'll do during the regular season when we have game plans, I think from an offensive perspective, they're going to be different than what we've done in the past. Jalen's embraced it. He's excited about it and obviously we've got to be better than we were last year." Hurts struggled with interceptions a bit over the summer during training camp and didn't see any action during the preseason, so Week 1 against the Commanders will be the first game action under new OC Sean Mannion. The 28-year-old Hurts is expected to once again be in the mix as a top-five fantasy quarterback after setting a new career high with 25 touchdown passes last regular season to go along with a career-best 1.3 percent interception rate. His rushing numbers fell off some, as he punched in just eight touchdown on the ground after averaging 14 over the previous three seasons.
