Sirianni on Hurts Medical Check: Doctors Must Do Job

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged the frustration surrounding quarterback Jalen Hurts' medical check that kept him off the field during a promising drive against the Bears on Monday night. "Obviously frustrating," Sirianni told ESPN's Lisa Salters at halftime, "but the doctors have to do their job."

Unlike former Giants coach Brian Daboll last year, who faced league punishment for confronting medical staff, Sirianni stayed away from the medical tent. "The guys — they got to protect these guys," he said, emphasizing that the team must "be able to run the ball in from the one, regardless of who's in there." sport-tr.bet
