Nick Sirianni Reveals Reason for Jalen Hurts Exit from Eagles vs. Raiders amid injury concerns


Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni addressed his concerns about Jalen Hurts’ early exit during Sunday’s 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The quarterback completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three scores earlier. Tanner McKee took over

The coach was asked if Hurts was out due to injury. Sirianni clarified that he was withdrawn due to the large advantage of the team.

“You’re speculating there a little bit,” Sirianni said Tuesday via Sports Radio 94 WIP. “He came in and threw a dime on the next play for a touchdown, and then he went out for the lead we had. So we look at everything, and we’re walking today just because it’s a short week. We’re looking forward to a really good practice.”

Jalen Hurts’ resilience earns praise from Nick Sirianni and Jordan Mailata

Jalen Hurts bounced back from a rough week with one of his most efficient performances of the season on Sunday. Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata praised his focus and consistency after the game.

“Just consistency, man,” Mailata told reporters. “It didn’t matter what happened last week. He just attacked his work week the same way, win, lose or draw. His consistency is very reassuring. It doesn’t matter what kind of performance he has.

“The guy has a routine. The guy has a consistent routine during the week, and the guys can see it. The job doesn’t change. I expect the same this week.”

Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni echoed the confidence and broke down Hurts’ performance.

“He’s resilient,” Sirianni said. “He’s always been resilient and thought he was very good running the offense, being in command out there, making good decisions with the football, good runs. He’s had a good game.”

Hurts became the first quarterback in NFL history to record multiple games in the same season with a passer rating above 150 and a completion percentage above 80.
