Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said he is not concerned by the team’s decision to draft Jalen Hurts in the second round, and is OK sharing snaps with him if it’s in the best interest of the team.
Before selecting Hurts 53rd overall in last month’s NFL draft, general manager Howie Roseman called Wentz earlier in the day to alert him of the possibility, a conversation Roseman described as “not comfortable” on his end because “what helps the team the most at this moment in his mind is probably a different player, a different position because we have a great player there.”

Wentz, though, said he “had a feeling” the Eagles were going to take a quarterback given the way the roster is laid out and the team’s desire to get younger overall, and wasn’t worried about what the selection said about him and his standing on the team.
