Nick Sirianni has tense exchange with reporter

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni faced questions Monday about the team’s handling of Jalen Hurts’ blood clot issue, and things got a bit testy.

Sirianni fielded several questions about the timeline of Hurts’ injury, which consists of multiple blood clots in the lung. The coach was specifically questioned about why Hurts was allowed to fly home with the team from London even though the team knew he had a blood clot.

Initially, Sirianni offered a standard statement about how he is not a medical expert and the team always prioritizes the safety of its players. Things got a bit confrontational, however, when the line of questioning persisted.

“Guys, I’ve addressed this. I’ve talked to you guys about this,” Sirianni said. “The medical experts are there, and I think I’ve answered this question multiple times and put out multiple statements for you guys to hear. I told you guys last week that I was going to leave it at that, because we put out a detailed statement for you guys to hear and understand.”
