PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles are shaking up their coaching duties ahead of Monday's game against the Seahawks, with Matt Patricia taking over the defensive playcalling, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Sean Desai remains the Eagles' defensive coordinator but will move to the coaches' booth, Schefter reports, while Patricia will now be on the sideline during games.
Patricia has been serving as a senior defensive assistant. The former Patriots defensive coordinator and Lions head coach joined Philadelphia this offseason following a second stint with the Patriots as senior assistant/offensive line coach.
Desai was hired in late February as defensive coordinator to replace Jonathan Gannon, who took the Cardinals' head-coaching job following the Eagles' 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
