Eagles reporter raises concern over QB Jalen Hurts’ turnover stat ahead of 2026 NFL season

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is facing a potentially significant issue ahead of the 2026 NFL season. According to Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks, Hurts has thrown 13 interceptions during 16 training camp practices this summer, a number notably higher than the 15 interceptions he threw across the previous four training camps.

This surge in turnovers has Shorr-Parks concerned, suggesting the Eagles may need to revert to their more conservative passing approach if the trend continues into the regular season. This development is particularly concerning because Hurts and the Philadelphia offense have built their identity around protecting the football and controlling games through their ground attack.

While Hurts has demonstrated the ability to win without relying heavily on passing, throwing for 3,224 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only six interceptions during the 2025 season, the increased turnover rate in camp practices is raising red flags. Coaches could potentially limit Hurts' risky throws and rely more on the running game to mitigate the issue, but this could restrict the offense's variety and make it more predictable.

The Eagles cannot afford another offensive setback, and the 2026 season is already tight, making it crucial for the team to address the turnover problems soon.
