Jalen Hurts enters 2026 season amid scrutiny with new Philadelphia offense

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts faces high expectations as the team begins its 2026 campaign against the Washington Commanders on September 13. Despite five consecutive playoff appearances, Hurts enters his seventh NFL season under increased scrutiny from analysts and within the organization. Following the dismissal of former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, the team transitioned to a scheme led by new coordinator Sean Mannion. This system incorporates different play-calling styles than those used during the previous tenure of head coach Nick Sirianni. Hurts aims to adjust to these changes while operating with a revised receiving group following the trade of A.J. Brown. The quarterback maintains his focus on performance, noting the importance of learning from past experiences and growth during training camp.
