Overview
- Reports show Hurts has thrown 13 interceptions in training camp, including a pick‑six caught by Riq Woolen during a recent public practice that ended a two‑minute drill.
- Coaches attribute the turnovers to installing Sean Mannion’s new offense, which uses more under‑center snaps and stricter timing that can increase early timing and placement errors.
- Hurts has framed the interceptions as part of a calibration process while he learns the scheme and builds chemistry with new and younger receivers after the A.J. Brown trade and summer injuries.
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said he does not expect the practice interceptions to carry into the regular season, and camp also featured positive plays such as touchdown connections with Saquon Barkley and others.
- The preseason finale and the first live regular‑season reps are being cast as the real tests of whether the mistakes are fixed, and the team’s offseason moves have given the front office roster and roster-capital flexibility if issues persist.
