Sources -- Sirianni more involved in Eagles offensive preparations - ESPN

PHILADELPHIA — Coach Nick Sirianni has been more involved in the offensive preparations this week, according to team sources, as the Eagles look to bounce back Monday night at the Los Angeles Chargers.

Sirianni has been more vocal in offensive meetings and has been presenting material alongside offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, sources said. According to one source, he has been addressing the group for longer than usual at the top of the meetings before ceding to Patullo, who continues to run them.

Philadelphia is searching for answers on the offensive side of the ball. It currently ranks 24th in total yards (304.8), 23rd in passing (196.3 YPG), 22nd in rushing (108.5 YPG) and 19th in points (22.5 PPG) despite having the highest-salaried offense in the NFL.

The Eagles have dropped their last two games and have averaged 15.5 points over their last four contests.

Heading into a mini-bye following their 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears last Friday, Sirianni said they would «evaluate everything» but added Patullo would remain the playcaller.

Patullo, who coached with Sirianni in Indianapolis and has been on staff with the Eagles since Sirianni was hired, was promoted from pass game coordinator and associate head coach to offensive coordinator this offseason to replace Moore, now the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

Described by former Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett as the team's «unsung hero» during Super Bowl week for his contributions in shaping the game plan, Patullo has come under scrutiny in Philadelphia given the offense's struggles and the fact that the switch at coordinator is the one major change on that side of the ball from a season ago. Coaches and players have been quick to grab Patullo's back, however,
