Jalen Hurts Predicted to Have Another Rough Game For Eagles vs Jaguars

The Philadelphia Eagles will be taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend in London, giving the team a chance to get back on track.

Philadelphia enters this game having dropped its last two contests, with the offense spiraling out of control in the process. This has caused a lot of issues for the Eagles, and questions around quarterback Jalen Hurts have come about again.

Entering the season, there were concerns about Hurts and whether he could get the job done for the Eagles. After an inconsistent 2025 season, Hurts has again shown signs of this taking place, leading to more outside noise.

But as the Eagles get ready for the game against the Jaguars, injuries have hit this team hard. Both star wide receiver DeVonta Smith and star running back Saquon Barkley will be out of this contest due to hamstring injuries.

This now will put more pressure on Hurts to figure out how to get a win, but it remains to be seen if he can get the job done. Hurts has the talent to win this game, but he will need a strong performance to silence any doubters, especially with the injuries taking place.

Before the game gets going, ESPN has looked ahead to project stat lines and fantasy numbers for players across the NFL. Hurts was included in this, with the veteran signal-caller being predicted to throw for 232 yards with one touchdown and one interception on the day.

On the ground, Hurts has been predicted to rush for 23 yards on six carries, which could be a disappointing number for him. Hurts has been most effective when he can get out of the pocket to extend plays with his legs over the years.

If Hurts can take advantage of an opportunistic Jaguars defense, it could help the Eagles stay in the game. The Eagles will need to scheme for Hurts to be the primary option in this contest, and the veteran quarterback is going to have to trust his weapons to get the job done.

Players like rookie Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks are going to be counted on even more so this week. Hurts can't do everything himself, and the Eagles are relying on multiple players to help them avoid falling to 2-3 on the season.

Kickoff between the Eagles and Jaguars from London is scheduled for 6:30 a.m. PT/9:30 a.m. ET from London.
