The Facts: The Eagles made the obvious official: Hurts is the starting quarterback. HC Nick Sirianni made the announcement Tuesday, noting that Hurts took all the first-team reps during training camp. "Really, nobody else got any reps with the ones," the first-time head coach said. "Jalen's our starter. And he's done a great job. We wanted him to take advantage of the opportunity and take the reins with the advantage of the opportunity that he got and we feel like the preseason that he had, he did that."

Diehards Line:Hurts has been the expected QB1 since the Eagles shipped Carson Wentz to Indianapolis back in February. Sticking to his mantra of competition at every position, however, Sirianni declined to name the second-year quarterback the Week 1 starter until today. The 23-year-old started four games for Philly as a rookie, tossing for 1,061 yards and six touchdowns with four interceptions. He also rushed 63 times for 354 yards and three additional scores. Hurts missed the team's second preseason game due to an illness and didn't participate in the preseason finale. But the Eagles saw enough on the practice field to make the call.
