Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has acknowledged that he deliberately misled reporters and the public regarding the team's starting quarterback situation, according to a report from Awful Announcing on Friday.
The admission came during a media availability session, though specific details about which quarterback competition or timeframe Sirianni referenced were not immediately disclosed. The Eagles have navigated quarterback decisions in recent seasons, including the transition from Jalen Hurts to other options.
Sirianni's comments represent a rare instance of an NFL coach openly acknowledging the use of strategic misinformation during quarterback competitions, a common but rarely admitted practice in professional football.
