STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Hurts faces a weakened offensive line this season after Jurgens trade and Johnson retirement.

Hurts will be operating behind a significantly weakened offensive line in the short term after the Eagles traded away center Cam Jurgens and lost right tackle Lane Johnson to retirement in a two-day span. With Landon Dickerson on injured reserve, the Eagles' line will feature new starters at center (likely Drew Kendall), left guard (likely Willie Lampkin, the undersized player with minimal offensive line experience), and right tackle (rookie Markel Bell, who looked overmatched against the Rams). The source notes Hurts 'arguably be doing it this season with a weakened group up front' and grades the Eagles' short-term outlook a D+ for this season, suggesting material downside risk to his performance and protection despite the long-term draft capital positioning.
