After landing a wild assertion after the Eagles NFC Championship win, Nick Sirianni finally addressed Jalen Hurts' "straitjacket" comments.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts's condition for Sunday's NFC Championship Game was monitored all week because of a left knee injury, but Hurts was in the lineup against the Commanders and he played without showing any sign of an injury.
After reaching his second Super Bowl in three seasons with a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday, Sirianni and his team were awarded the NFC championship trophy by Eagles’ Super Bowl winner Nick Foles. Sirianni then got interviewed by FOX NFL broadcaster Terry Bradshaw for all of Lincoln Financial Field and America to hear.
Hurts appeared to injure his left leg against the Rams, which could affect preparations for the NFC title game. Sirianni did not offer an update on Quinyon Mitchell's shoulder, either.
The former Alabama quarterback has 259 passing yards, nine sacks and a spot in the NFC Championship Game after two playoff contests.
After Jalen Hurts ran for three touchdowns and threw for one in the NFC Championship Game, he said the game plan was to "let me out of my straitjacket a little bit."
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had a big day through the air in Philadelphia's win over the Washington Commanders to advance to Super Bowl LIX. Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said on Tuesday he didn't make much of Hurts' comments about his usage on Sunday.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni doesn't think you should read much into quarterback Jalen Hurts calling his offense a "straitjacket" following the team's blowout victory in the NFC championship game.
It was last August 7 that Jalen Hurts took a seat at training camp in South Philadelphia before a sweaty media gathering and began the questioning himself – of the writers.
Some Eagles players may have been surprised by the rule that would allow officials to award the Eagles points after multiple Washington penalties, but Sirianni wasn't.
