Reports Point to Overhaul of Eagles’ Offensive Staff as Hurts Declines to Back Patullo

Locker-room voices urged against singling out the first-year coordinator.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that people around the league expect significant changes to Philadelphia’s offensive staff, with a new offensive coordinator viewed as likely.
  • Jalen Hurts declined to endorse Kevin Patullo’s return, saying it is too soon and that he trusts Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni and Jeffrey Lurie to decide.
  • Running back Saquon Barkley and left tackle Jordan Mailata defended Patullo, arguing the offense’s struggles were a collective issue rather than one coach’s failure.
  • Nick Sirianni said there will be time to evaluate everyone’s performance, with media availability for leadership expected after decisions are made.
  • Philadelphia’s offense regressed to 24th in yards and 19th in points and mustered 19 points in a 23-19 Wild Card loss to the 49ers, raising scrutiny on Patullo in his first year as OC after joining the staff in 2021.
