Jalen Hurts says offense is ‘building’ as a training camp with moving parts and injuries ends
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith missed time in Eagles camp, leaving Hurts to work more with other receivers. The offense hasn't looked great, but Hurts says it's part of the process.
The team released an injury report showing that left tackle Jordan Mailata is out with a concussion and that wide receiver DeVonta Smith will be held out due to a groin injury. That leaves the Eagles without both their starting wideouts as A.J. Brown remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.
Hurts’ most impressive throw was the ball he fit between Jihaad Campbell and Quinyon Mitchell to give Darius Cooper a chance to make a leaping grab in traffic for a first down. After that rep, a smiling Hurts dapped Cooper up and jogged to the sideline with him.
While neither Smith nor Brown appear to be dealing with any sort of issue that could threaten their Week 1 availability, the WR tandem figures to be held out of Friday's preseason finale against the Jets if at anything less than 100 percent health.
On a day that was flush with red zone drills, Hurts shined, completing 13 of 14 passes and throwing five touchdown passes on the day. Hurts has had an up and down summer, turning the ball over and looking a little lacking at times with his decision-making.
Ryan Williams had a standout freshman season at Alabama, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. Coaches praise Williams' improved explosiveness, quicker acceleration, and deeper understanding of the game. Williams emphasizes a humble and focused approach, prioritizing consistent hard work and mental fortitude.
