\nThe Philadelphia Eagles might have to face the Giants on Sunday without their head coach. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday after he woke up not feeling well. He now plans to attend all team meetings virtually from a hotel. \u201cI\u2019m feeling a little bit better now, which is good,\u201d he said. Sirianni said on a Zoom call with reporters that he is hoping to be cleared to coach Sunday\u2019s game at Lincoln Financial Field. But if he can\u2019t, passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo will assume head coach duties and offensive coordinator Shane Steichen will call the plays. Sirianni tested positive just hours after his Eagles (7-7) had beaten the Washington Football Team,27-17, on Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The Eagles\u2019 week already had been thrown for a loop when the NFL rescheduled that game from Sunday to Tuesday due to a Washington COVID-19 outbreak of 20-plus players plus staff. They now have fewer than five days to prepare for the Giants (4-10) with their head coach quarantined and possibly out for the game. The Giants beat the Eagles,13-7, at MetLife Stadium on Nov.28. It is the Giants\u2019 only win in five games since the Week 10 bye. The Eagles are vying for an NFC playoff spot. \u201cEverything up until game day will be very normal except I\u2019m not in the building,\u201d Sirianni told reporters. \u201cBut I\u2019ll be running everything the same way because I\u2019m the head coach. As far as Sunday goes, we\u2019ll play that by ear and see what happens.\u201d Sirianni is the fourth NFL head coach to test positive in the last week, joining the Cleveland Browns\u2019 Kevin Stefanski, the New Orleans Saints\u2019 Sean Payton and the Jets\u2019 Robert Saleh. He\u2019s also not the only positive in Philly. The Eagles placed offensive tackle Le\u2019Raven Clark on the COVID reserve list Wednesday, as well. He is the third Eagles offensive lineman to go on the COVID list recently, following starting guard Landon Dickerson and tackle Andre Dillard. The Eagles did not practice Wednesday. This injury report is an estimation. Did not participate: DT Fletcher Cox (rest), C Jason Kelce (rest), T Jordan Mailata (ankle), RB Miles Sanders (quad), T Le\u2019Raven Clark (COVID-19). Limited: QB Jalen Hurts (ankle), RB Jordan Howard (knee), T Lane Johnson (rest), TE Jack Stoll (knee).<\/p>\n
