Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni voiced regret over how he responded to a sideline hit that temporarily sidelined quarterback Jalen Hurts during Monday's 27-7 defeat to the Chicago Bears, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.
The play in question involved Bears linebacker D'Marco Jackson, whose hit on Hurts knocked the quarterback out of the first half before he was able to return. Sirianni expressed "remorse" over his reaction to the sequence, McManus reported.
The loss dropped Philadelphia to a 27-7 final against Chicago on Monday, a result that compounded the concern surrounding Hurts' brief absence. The Eagles' head coach addressed the matter after the game, acknowledging that his response to the hit did not meet the standard he holds for himself.
For local readers, the development matters on two fronts: the health of the franchise quarterback and the conduct of the head coach in a primetime setting. Sirianni's willingness to own his reaction may resonate with a fan base that has watched him lead the team through high-pressure moments, though the 20-point margin of defeat will likely dominate discussion in the days ahead.
Further details on Hurts' status and any potential discipline related to the hit were not immediately available in the source material.
