Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn ’ t see the field much during a 23-17 Monday night loss to the Seahawks .
Entering the game , there was some serious hype that Hurts would see more playing time than usual .
Naturally , that had football fans everywhere interested .
( RELATED : David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football ) Unfortunately , it didn ’ t really happen at all .
Hurts went 1/1 passing for six yards , and didn ’ t record any rushing stats in the loss .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ out to be for absolutely nothing as Wentz absolutely dominated the snap count .
I don ’ t understand why the Eagles reportedly gave Hurts so many snaps in practice to then turn around and barely use him against the Seahawks .
The game might have been close , but do fans of the Eagles really feel confident in the offense after last night ?
I think the answer to that question is an overwhelming no .
I really do hope Hurts gets a shot .
It would be a ton of fun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If the Eagles don ’ t intend to do that , then stop giving him first team reps in practice and commit to Wentz .
Otherwise , cut Hurts loose and let ’ s find out what the former Alabama superstar can do in the NFL .

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White on Tuesday struck down two Trump administration rules that would have reduced the number of visas issued to skilled foreign workers each year .
The Trump administration announced new changes to the H-1B visa program in October , which included new salary requirements on companies that hire foreign skilled workers and limited speciality occupations , according to the Associated Press ( AP ) .
Deputy Secretary of Labor Patrick Pizzella said the changes were necessary as the economy recovers from the pandemic , according to the AP .
“ With millions of Americans looking for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recovery , immediate action is needed to guard against the risk lower-cost foreign labor can pose to the well-being of U.S. workers , ” he said .
However , White struck down the rules Tuesday , noting that the government didn ’ t follow procedures and that the claim the changes were necessary due to the pandemic didn ’ t add up since the Trump administration has previously suggested adding these rules prior to October .
( RELATED : US Judge Shuts Down Trump ‘ Public Charge ’ Rule That Rejected Green Card @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an event beyond Defendants ’ control , yet it was within Defendants ’ control to take action earlier than they did , ” White wrote .
White said that while the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) argued that the virus was hurting workers , the Chamber of Commerce had “ the better argument ” since they argued that DHS gave a broad analysis of the unemployment and didn ’ t look narrowly at how the job market was for the types of positions held by H-1B workers .
“ The evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visa applications also does not show a ‘ dire ’ emergency , ” White wrote .
The University of Utah , who sued alongside the Chamber of Commerce and other universities , argued that the new rule would force a company to pay an employee $ 208,000 for a job if their visa was renewed compared to their current $ 80,000 salary , according to the AP .
The rules on wages took effect in October , while the other rules were supposed to take effect Monday , according to the AP .

UK High Court Rules Children Under 16 ‘Unlikely To Be Able To Give Informed Consent’ To Puberty Blockers

A United Kingdom high court ruled Tuesday that children under the age of 16 are “ unlikely ” to be mature enough “ to be able to give informed consent ” to puberty blocking drugs .
“ It is highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers , ” three senior judges said , according to the Guardian .
“ It is doubtful that a child aged 14 or 15 could understand and weigh the long-term risks and consequences of the administration of puberty blockers.
” Dame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s bench division , Lord Justice Lewis and Mrs Justice Lieven ruled that for teenagers under 18 , a doctor may have to obtain authorization from the courts before medical intervention , the Guardian reported .
The judges also said that a child under 16 may only consent to puberty blockers “ where he or she is competent to understand the nature of the treatment , ” noting that it could be enormously difficult for young children to properly weigh and decide on this information .

A United Kingdom high court ruled Tuesday that children under the age of 16 are “unlikely” to be mature enough “to be able to give informed consent” to puberty blocking drugs.
“It is highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers,” three senior judges said, according to the Guardian. “It is doubtful that a child aged 14 or 15 could understand and weigh the long-term risks and consequences of the administration of puberty blockers.”
Dame Victoria Sharp, president of the Queen’s bench division, Lord Justice Lewis and Mrs Justice Lieven ruled that for teenagers under 18, a doctor may have to obtain authorization from the courts before medical intervention, the Guardian reported.
The judges also said that a child under 16 may only consent to puberty blockers “where he or she is competent to understand the nature of the treatment,” noting that it could be enormously difficult for young children to properly weigh and decide on this information.
