What the heck was THIS all about?

And will the Philadelphia Eagles be disciplined for bad reporting on an injury?

Good questions all around. Let's explain what we're talking about.

On Friday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that the team was being cautious with Jalen Hurts because the quarterback was "dealing with the ankle." Hurts had been listed as sitting out practice for "rest" on Wedensday.

Which is where there's an issue. As you can see in the video below, an Eagles PR person said that Hurts was resting, which means that if he was resting because of an injury and Philadelphia didn't report it correctly, the franchise might be in some hot water.

Which is why it seemed like Sirianni realized he had made an error and he quickly said, "I thought you were talking about something else."

We'll see!
