In a whirlwind of events following the Philadelphia Eagles’ 20-16 victory over the Browns, head coach Nick Sirianni found himself facing the music in a Monday press conference. While the main buzz centered on his public apology for losing his cool and yelling at fans, there were also significant updates regarding the team’s plan moving forward into Week Seven.
The injury bug struck the Eagles hard, particularly hitting left tackle Jordan Mailata who suffered a hamstring injury during the game against Cleveland. Sirianni provided insight into Mailata’s condition, stating, “It looks like Jordan is going to be out a couple weeks. We’ll see exactly how long it’s going to be. I don’t have that information yet, exactly all that. Jordan is busting his butt trying to make a play, and unfortunately that happened.”
With Mailata sidelined, the question of who will step up to fill his shoes looms large. Sirianni fielded inquiries about potentially moving Mekhi Becton from guard to tackle in Mailata’s absence. The coach kept his cards close to his chest, stating, “everything is on the table” as the team navigates the challenge of shoring up the left tackle position for the upcoming clash with the Giants.
As the Eagles aim to maintain their winning momentum, the spotlight remains fixed on Sirianni and his ability to steer the team through adversity. Stay tuned for more updates as the drama unfolds in Philadelphia.
