What happened: Nick Sirianni answered questions about Jalen Hurts by repeating he is not a medical expert. Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 on Friday with a blood clot.

What to watch: Philadelphia faces further updates on Hurts' availability entering Week 7. Sirianni's next availability will show whether health updates shift to medical staff.
