The Eagles social media team posted a training camp clip ahead of Philly’s first preseason game. It’s evident that the idea behind it was to highlight star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, but that appears to have backfired.
Mitchell’s shown intercepting a Hurts pass in slow motion, but all NFL fans see if a bad throw by the QB1. All accounts have stated that Hurts and Philly are adjusting to the new offense since Kevin Patullo’s departure.
However, it certainly raises the question as to why the official team account would post a clip that could potential damage Hurts’ reputation.

However, it remains to be seen what the offense looks like without A.J. Brown catching passes any longer.
Hurts and the Eagles head into the fall with lower expectations than usual. However, a strong core is still in place for Philadelphia with head coach Nick Sirianni leading the way.
Devonta Smith, rookie Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks and Dallas Goedert appear to be the top pass-catching threats with Brown moving on to New England .
