Nick Sirianni on Jalen Hurts medical check: "Doctors have to do their job"

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts expressed clear annoyance after a medical assessment on the sideline forced him to miss a crucial series during Monday night's matchup against the Chicago Bears. The ensuing possession concluded with an interception thrown by Andy Dalton, keeping the team from converting a scoring opportunity from the one-yard line.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni admitted he was unhappy about losing his starting signal-caller at that moment, yet he ultimately defended the medical protocol as a necessary measure for athlete safety. Unlike a previous incident involving former New York Giants coach Brian Daboll—which resulted in league penalties for Daboll, the franchise, and running back Cam Skattebo—Sirianni avoided approaching the evaluation tent entirely.
