Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni might have just accidentally disclosed an injury for quarterback Jalen Hurts during his press conference on Friday.
Hurts missed practice on Wednesday for what the Eagles called to be “rest” and Sirianni was asked about that on Friday.
“Yeah, you know, he was on the injury report dealing with the ankle, and we’re just making sure we’re cautious with everything,” Sirianni said.
Several reporters chimed in that Hurts was not actually on the injury report, as Sirianni looked towards an Eagles PR staffer to the side of the podium.
“It was rest,” the PR staffer said. Here’s the entire awkward exchange:
Hurts has previously had ankle issues, as he underwent surgery during the 2023 offseason to remove “hardware” in his ankle that had been put in after an injury he sustained while playing for the University of Alabama in 2018.
After a 2-2 start, the Eagles have won four games in a row as they head to Dallas for an NFC East rivalry matchup this Sunday afternoon.
The Cowboys are expected to be without star quarterback Dak Prescott, who sustained a hamstring injury during last Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.
