PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles new-look offense was impressive in their only series — and this was without DeVonta Smith (out with a groin injury). Jalen Hurts went 6-for-6 for 80 yards on the opening possession, capped with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert as Philadelphia leads the New York Jets 14-3 at halftime.
Hurts hit Quez Watkins on his first pass for a first down and never looked back, not even targeting A.J. Brown (making his Eagles debut) in his brief stint. The Eagles starting defense even looked good in their one series, as Kyzir White picked off Zach Wilson for a 27-yard return that led to a Jason Huntley touchdown after the starters were taken out.
Wilson left the game with a knee injury and his return was questionable. With this being a preseason affair, the Jets don’t want to risk further injury to their franchise quarterback.
Nakobe Dean leads the Eagles with five tackles, as the rookie linebacker has been impressive in his debut. Dean had four tackles on his first possession, entering the game with the second-team defense.
The second half will feature plenty of second and third-team players, but stay pinned to the live blog here for all the updates and preseason storylines you’ve been following in camp!
