Nick Sirianni addressed the media after the Philadelphia Eagles' narrow loss to the Washington Commanders, where franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion. Sirianni emphasized that the team prepares for such situations, but acknowledged that Hurts' unique skills are irreplaceable.
Without Hurts, the Eagles' run game struggled significantly, dropping from an impressive 9.9 yards per carry to just 4.3. Saquon Barkley noted that the run game is designed around Hurts, making it difficult to maintain effectiveness without him.
Despite clinching a playoff spot, the Eagles' postseason aspirations heavily depend on Hurts' recovery from his concussion.
