Eagles HC Nick Sirianni explains unusual London travel decision before Jaguars game

Nick Sirianni laid out the Philadelphia Eagles' plan for their Week 5 trip to London on Monday, a day after a 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams left them 2-2 and on a two-game losing streak.

The Eagles will hold a normal practice week in Philadelphia, fly overnight on Friday, land Saturday morning and hold a walkthrough before facing the Jaguars on Sunday. The game is at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kickoff at 9:30 a.m. ET, and the team flies home right after it.

"We felt like leaving Friday was best for our team, this team, and with the schedule that we have with the weeks coming up," Sirianni said. "A lot of research went through it, you guys know, I've discussed these things with you about short weeks, long weeks, rain weeks, hot weeks, whatever it may be, international weeks, of how to kind of go about it.

"We're trying to get a full week's worth of practice in before we go up there. But we felt like, through the studies that we did and through some of the things that we looked at, all the things that we looked at, we decided on this. At the end of the day, I got to make those decisions and this is the decision I chose, with the help of great people no doubt."
