Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 regular season coming off a career-low eight rushing touchdowns and 421 yards on 105 carries in 2025, his fewest as a full-time starter after averaging 14-plus scores annually from 2021-24. The Eagles' shift to a wide-zone scheme under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, combined with more under-center work, has prompted internal optimism that Hurts will regain designed-run volume while retaining the tush push in short-yardage situations. Saquon Barkley continues to handle a significant share of carries, limiting goal-line opportunities, though Hurts remains faster this offseason and has embraced the system changes. His dual-threat history and the team's improved offensive line project moderate rushing touchdown upside, tempered by the recent downward trend and shared backfield workload.
