It’s becoming dangerous to be an Eagles quarterback.

With franchise QB Carson Wentz sitting out and backup Nate Sudfeld out for six weeks after breaking his wrist in the preseason opener, the Eagles turned to Cody Kessler for Thursday’s tilt with the Jaguars.

Kessler’s start lasted just four plays, as Jacksonville’s Datone Jones landed a thunderous hit on the QB that sent him into concussion protocol.

The Eagles turned to rookie Clayton Thorson, who mercifully survived the 24-10 win as the only active QB left on the active roster for the game.

“In my 14 years playing or while coaching, I don’t know if I’ve ever been a part of where we lost two quarterbacks like this,” coach Doug Pederson told reporters of the injuries to Kessler and Sudfeld. “The beauty of it is that we get them both back and we’ve still got a couple weeks of preseason to work out some of the details.”

While that may be, the role of backup quarterback was always going to be a hot topic in Philadelphia this season with Nick Foles’ offseason departure. The Jags’ new starter signed a four-year, $88 million deal in March after leading back-to-back playoff charges following season-ending injuries to Wentz, including a thrilling win over the Patriots in the 2018 Super Bowl.

The spate of injuries to his fellow Philly pass-throwers may press Wentz into some action ahead of schedule, but expect to see a whole lot of Thorson for the rest of the preseason — the team has reportedly declined to bring another quarterback into camp at this point.
