Sirianni Backs Hurts' Medical Check

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was visibly frustrated by a sideline concussion evaluation that kept him off the field for a promising drive against the Bears. Despite his frustration, coach Nick Sirianni stood by the medical protocol, stating "doctors have to do their job" to protect players. likesport.biz

"Obviously frustrating," Sirianni told ESPN at halftime, "but they're doing their best to keep the players safe." The drive ended with an Andy Dalton interception. Unlike former Giants coach Brian Daboll who was punished for similar sideline confrontations, Sirianni stayed away from the medical evaluation tent.
