Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has acknowledged that he was intentionally misleading in his public comments regarding the team's starting quarterback situation, according to a report from Awful Announcing on Friday.
The admission came during a media availability on November 6, though Sirianni did not specify which particular statements were misleading or provide further details on the quarterback decision.
Sirianni, who has led the Eagles since 2021, has previously declined to name a definitive starter during portions of the season, citing competitive advantages. The Eagles' quarterback room has featured competition between Jalen Hurts and backup options in recent years.
The coach's candid remark about his own messaging strategy is unusual for an NFL head coach, who typically guard roster and lineup information closely.
