Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens (back) recently underwent a back procedure after playing with nerve pain toward the end of the 2024-25 campaign. However, the 25-year-old is expected to be ready to return for camp in July. The 2022 second-round pick out of Nebraska earned his first Pro Bowl honor in 2024 after taking over for future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce. Jurgens has started 11 games at guard and 16 games at center over the last two seasons and is a key piece of the dominant Philly offensive line.
Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens (back) did not practice on Wednesday due to a back injury, but he is returning to practice on Thursday, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. The 2022 second-round pick out of Nebraska has started all but one game for Philly this season, and his return to practice is a promising sign for his potential availability against the Washington Commanders in Sunday's NFC Championship Game. Given the high usage rate of the "tush push" or "brotherly shove" in Philadelphia, the center spot is a critical position for the Eagles offense. UPDATE: Jurgens is not practicing on Thursday despite the initial report.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Cam Jurgens (foot) is being considered week to week after leaving the Week 4 game against the Washington Commanders early with a foot injury. The second-year guard is the only new starter on the team's offensive line from last year's NFC Championship run. In his absence, 27-year-old Sua Opeta will fill in at right guard. This development shouldn't affect Jalen Hurts, D'Andre Swift, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith too much, but it could weaken the overall offensive line just a bit.
