Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to reporters on Friday and gave some updates on Jalen Hurts and his potential to play this week, as well as some good news on the running back front. He also endorsed Darius Slay for the Pro Bowl, although noted he can’t actually vote for him.
At the time of his press conference, Sirianni said that they hadn’t heard anything about a postponement, and he wasn’t thinking about the implications of the game being pushed back. In the hours after he spoke, the NFL officially moved the Eagles game to Tuesday night — which also means a shorter turnaround for their Week 16 game against the Giants.
