Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was given a second opportunity to vouch for offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo on Monday, but offered no such endorsement.

Hurts spoke to media in front his locker on Monday afternoon and was asked if he prefers to have Patullo return next season. He largely deferred to head coach Nick Sirianni and owner Jeffrey Lurie.

"It too soon to think about that. I put my trust in (president) Howie (Roseman), Nick and Mr. Lurie," Hurts said.

The Eagles averaged 27.2 points per game under Moore's direction last season. They lost 23-19 in Sunday's wild-card round and averaged 22.3 points during the regular season.

ESPN reported on Monday the Eagles are expecting drastic changes on offense, which could include personnel and coaches.

When asked about the offense not producing in the wild-card loss to San Francisco on Sunday night, Hurts said he wanted to "give my respects to the 49ers, how they came out and played. They made plays when they needed to. Coaches coached well."

Patullo has been a part of the Eagles' coaching staff since 2021 and became offensive coordinator when Kellen Moore was hired as Saints head coach after Philadelphia won last season's Super Bowl.
