Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacob Eason saw most of the team's first half reps under center during Friday's 27-17 win over the Detroit Lions in their preseason finale. The second-year quarterback out of Washington played turnover-free football but failed to find the end zone, completing 10-of-14 pass attempts for 74 yards. Eason had an opportunity to hit rookie wide receiver Mike Strachan in the left corner of the end zone but failed to convert it, which led to the Colts settling for a ...

The Indianapolis Colts still hope that quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will be back to start the regular season, but if Wentz is unable to go, the team's other quarterbacks are doing their best to show they're ready for action. Jacob Eason and rookie Sam Ehlinger both had strong preseason showings for the team, with Eason showing off his strong arm and Ehlinger using his mobility to make plays. Eason will likely be in line to start in Week 1 should Wentz still be out, but with that game ...

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacob Eason completed 15 of his 21 passing attempts for 183 yards during Sunday's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. With quarterback Carson Wentz's (foot) Week 1 availability in question due to surgery, the sophomore has found himself in a position to potentially take over the starting role while the former Eagle is out. Eason possesses a powerful arm but was somewhat reckless with the ball in college. While it's only a small step, taking sacks instead of ...

The first question following Carson Wentz's injury is who would be the Indianapolis Colts QB1 to start the coming season? Indianapolis signed quarterbackBrett Hundley in the days following Wentz's diagnosis, but sophomore Jacob Eason continues to take the first-team reps. He went 10-for-22 with a red zone touchdown pass but two interceptions in team drills on Saturday. Should Eason go into the season as the starter, he would likely be one of the lowest-scoring starting quarterbacks and may only ...

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacob Eason enters training camp in better shape than he was in for the 2020 season, with Zak Keefer of The Athletic reporting that Eason "converted 10 pounds of his 231-pound frame into muscle," which dropped his body fat to 5.9 percent. But being in better shape doesn't necessarily equate to better play, and Eason will need to prove that he can make plays in practice and the preseason if he wants to lock in the team's No. 2 quarterback job behind Carson Wentz. ...

With the 218th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have selected Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger. He'll compete with Jacob Eason for the backup job and could benefit even more if the Carson Wentz era doesn't go like the Colts want it to. Last year, Ehlinger completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 2,566 yards, 26 touchdowns, and five intrceptions while also adding in eight rushing scores. He's not a great pocket passer, but he's got some nice wheels and can extend plays. He's a ...

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacob Eason, the 122nd pick in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, didn't play at all in his rookie season while sitting behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett. But Rivers has hung up his cleats and Brissett is entering free agency, and Eason thinks he's ready for the starting job if the Colts will give it to him. "It's realistic as soon as possible," Eason said. However, general manager Chris Ballard said that the team isn't ready to even commit to Eason as a ...

Jacob Eason might be a slow burner for your dynasty squads, but that doesn't mean there isn't potential! @FFEvanlution looks at the Colts QB. The post Slow Ride: Take it Eason! appeared first on Dynasty Nerds.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Jacob Eason is expected to make the team's final 53-man roster, in the opinion of Kevin Bowen. However, he's unlikely to take a snap in 2020 unless both Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett go down with injuries. Rivers, despite his age, has made 224 straight starts in the NFL. Expect Eason to remain the QB3 in Indy this season, which will allow him to sit and learn behind one of the best QBs to play the game in Rivers.

The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Jacob Eason to their rookie deals. Taylor is expected to share lead back duties with Marlon Mack initially but has the profile to be the best early-down back from the 2020 NFL Draft and a solid fantasy flex option right off the bat. He's in competition to be the top rookie pick in dynasty leagues. The early outlook is less rosy for Eason, who the team has said is expected to compete with Chad Kelly for the third ...
