Vic Fangio silences panic over Jalen Hurts' training camp interceptions

The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing to wrap up their preseason this Friday against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field , looking to regain momentum after losing their first two exhibition games against the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots .

The team finished training camp on Wednesday with positive takeaways, especially regarding Jalen Hurts , who continues to adjust to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion ’s system. While the quarterback is still becoming familiar with the scheme, the organization believes he will be ready for the start of the regular season.

One of the biggest concerns in recent weeks has been Hurts’ interceptions during practice. The quarterback threw at least five interceptions during the team’s two-day joint practices with the Patriots, raising some concerns around the reigning NFC champions.

However, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio dismissed any worries about the quarterback’s performance and said the mistakes are simply part of the adjustment process.

“He's learning a new offense. I think he's trying things, seeing what's available and what isn't available. So I don’t think that's gonna carry over,” Fangio said, as quoted by Eagles reporter Anthony DiBona .

Mannion’s arrival from the Green Bay Packers is aimed at revitalizing an offense that has lost some of its explosiveness in recent years, bringing new ideas, a different strategic approach, and a more modern system built around Hurts.

The quarterback, meanwhile, is looking to move past the disappointment of failing to repeat as champion last season and reestablish himself among the NFL’s elite. While an adjustment period is inevitable, the Eagles believe his talent will allow him to adapt quickly.

ESPN analyst Dan Graziano is also predicting a bounce-back season for Hurts and Philadelphia, arguing that the team has too much talent to suffer a major collapse.

“They’re too good to flop completely,” Graziano said.
