Filling in for Wentz Eason worked with the Colts' starters during Friday's practice, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact With Carson Wentz dealing with a foot injury that is expected to cost him some time, Eason is in line to take starter's reps at practice in the meantime, with Sam Ehlinger and Jalen Morton also on hand. A timetable for Wentz's return is pending the results of tests that he's undergoing, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Looks set for backup QB role Eason is the favorite to be the backup to Carson Wentz even after the Colts took Sam Ehlinger in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, ESPN 107.5 FM Indianapolis reports.

Impact Eason didn't play a snap in a regular-season game during his rookie 2020 campaign, but the Colts had enough faith in him not to sign a veteran after Jacoby Brissett, last year's backup, left in free agency. Eason isn't likely to get on the field much this season barring an injury to Carson Wentz, however.

Getting work in with receivers Eason is currently training with teammates Michael Pittman and Dezmon Patmon, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Eason didn't get an opportunity to make his NFL debut during his rookie season in 2020, but with Philip Rivers electing to retire and with Jacoby Brissett set for free agency, the young signal-caller should at the very least be in strong position to open 2021 as the No. 2 option on the depth chart behind the newly acquired Carson Wentz. The 23-year-old will look to impress in OTAs, training camp and the preseason to ensure he maintains his placement on the depth chart.

Who is Colts QB Jacob Eason? Who exactly is Jacob Eason?

JANUARY 22, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Opportunity awaits for 2021? Eason, who did not suit up for the Colts as a rookie in 2020, could see more opportunities in 2021 following Philip Rivers' decision to retire.

Impact Eason didn't see any work in Indianapolis as a rookie, as Jacoby Brissett worked as the second-string option behind a healthy Rivers all season. Brissett is additionally scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, so at least for the meantime, Eason appears to have a realistic path to snaps in his sophomore season. Of course, it should be expected that the Colts' quarterback room will see additions this offseason, whether through the 2021 NFL Draft or free agency.

Impact The fourth-round rookie has yet to reach the field this season for the Colts. With second-string quarterback Jacoby Brissett possessing 32 career starts, Eason has remained a developmental option and frequent healthy scratch over the course of 2020.
