Eagles star QB Jalen Hurts’ status is in doubt for Saturday’s game against the Cowboys because of a sprained throwing shoulder suffered in the third quarter SundayThe injury isn’t considered long-term.

This would be a bummer not just because of it's obvious awful fantasy implications, but also for Hurts' MVP bid. His health is clearly more important than any of those things, so it could be Gardner Minshew for Week 16. Minshew has only attempted four passes this year but went 19-of-33 in last year's Week 18 battle against the Cowboys, with a 186-2-1 stat line.

The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed quarterback Ian Book, according to Field Yates of ESPN. Book was a New Orleans Saints fourth-round draft pick out of Notre Dame in 2021. He appeared in one game in 2021 as a rookie, a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins in which he completed 12 of 20 pass attempts for 135 yards, with 2 INTs.

The Eagles recently released Reid Sinnett and Carson Strong, so Book will slide in as the team's third QB behind Hurts and Minshew.

The article purports that Gainwell will take a lot of the duties on third downs, hurry-up offense, and goal-line work.

There have been reports all summer about Miles Sanders taking a multitude of reps with the 2nd team offense, and although coach Nick Sirianni is claiming that "everybody rotates," the Gainwell drumbeat has been sounding for months now. If Gainwell is the lead back in these high-leverage situations, he could sneak into FLEX territory by building on his 33-reception, six-touchdown rookie season.

ESPN's Eagles reporter Tim McManus cites a trend of heavily-targeted practices for A.J. Brown, "especially with DeVonta Smith sidelined with a groin injury."

For how understandably worried fantasy managers are about a potential lack of a passing game, it's encouraging that we may still get WR1 usage for Brown. Where that leaves DeVonta Smith, or even Dallas Goedert is yet to be determined. We currently have Brown ranked right on the WR1/WR2 fringe due to volume concerns.

But as the story said, he began working in full as the week went on and the two extra days to prepare for the game leave him on track to play. The Eagles did not give Hurts any injury designation for the game.

It's all a mess for Philly coming out of their bye. Friday's final injury report will have the best idea of how to tackle the Eagles offense.

Jalen Hurts is expected to remain as the Eagles starting QB in Week 15, coming off the team's bye.

No QB controversy in Philly. Hurts will stay as QB1 despite the strong efforts of Garnder Minshew last week against Jets. This falls in line with HC Nick Sirianni saying "of course" when asked if Hurts is the starter. The Eagles finish the season with four division games, starting next week against Washington. However, last week did give the Eagles a chance to get something in return for Minshew, as teams are reportedly showing interest in him. Rapoport reports the Panthers spoke with the Eagles this season about Minshew, discussing what possible compensation it would take, but talks never really dug deep, eventually bringing Matt Barkley and then Cam Newton. Minshew is under contract through 2022.
