Training Camp Buzz: Colts giving second-year QB Jacob Eason a closer look after Wentz injury

The Colts are giving second-year quarterback Jacob Eason a closer look before making any big moves in reaction to the Carson Wentz‘s foot injury, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. “This is the first extended look they have gotten at him and that’s part of why you have not yet seen the Colts jumping out to trade for a quarterback despite all the speculation about Nick Foles or Gardner Minshew or whoever it might be,” Pelissero said on Inside Training Camp Live. “They want to take this opportunity, while they’re evaluating the progress of Carson Wentz coming back from that foot injury, to also evaluate the progress of Jacob Eason on the field.

” Pelissero points out that Eason got “virtually no work the entire fall” with last year’s starter Philip Rivers taking first-team reps and backup Jacoby Brissett taking scout-team reps. Both are no longer on the Colts and Eason will look to take advantage of the situation in the coming weeks. “Jacob has done well and he had a particularly good day today,” Frank Reich told Pelissero on ITC Live. “That’s really all we’re focused on. Chris (Ballard) and I really haven’t been talking about trades or anything like that. We’re focused on the guys we got. we’re happy with our quarterback room, we’re going to continue to push those guys to get them better and I think we have a good supporting cast that can play winning football with the roster we have.”
