Eagles' Nick Sirianni clears the air after heated postgame confrontation with former player Zach Ertz

Ertz turned back to share words with Sirianni before the two had to be separated by the Eagles' head of security, Dom DiSandro.

When asked about the interaction by reporters on Thursday, the head coach declined to talk specifics but said the two are in good standing. 

"I'll just keep my conversations with any guys private," he said. "I've got a lot of respect for Zach. Great football player, great person to be around. I've really got a lot of respect for Zach, and all the good things that he's done, and my relationship with him."

Ertz, who played six games under Sirianni before being traded to Arizona in 2021, echoed that sentiment when addressing the incident with the media. 

"Nick and I had a great relationship when I was there, and we still have a great relationship. It's definitely been blown way out of proportion," he said Thursday. 

"We spoke. We're good. There's no ill feelings on my part, and I don't think there are any ill feelings on his part. It's just something in the heat of the moment that probably got blown out of proportion and maybe a misunderstanding. But him and I are fine. Everyone knows how I feel about that place and that building, but at the same time, I love being here."

Ertz played more than eight seasons in Philadelphia. He scored a touchdown in their 2018 Super Bowl victory.
