PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Jalen Hurts is officially QB1 for the Philadelphia Eagles, but we haven't seen the last of Carson Wentz.


Coach Doug Pederson mentions both QBs will have a role on the team, with Hurts starting and, hopefully, giving the offense a shot in the arm; and Wentz serving as a mentor and learning from his demotion.

Jeff Skversky highlights the Eagles' QB change in this week's Sports Flash.
