Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles removed the injury designation of center Cam Jurgens for Sunday’s game against the host Dallas Cowboys.

Jurgens previously was listed as questionable to play on Sunday for the Eagles (8-2) due to a concussion.

Also Saturday, the Eagles said wide receiver DeVonta Smith is traveling separately from the team for undisclosed personal reasons and also carries no injury designation into the game against the Cowboys (4-5-1).

Signed to a four-year, $68 million contract extension in April, Jurgens took over for the retired Jason Kelce last season and was selected to the Pro Bowl.

Jurgens, 26, has appeared in 52 regular-season games (35 starts) since Philadelphia drafted him in the second round out of Nebraska in 2022.

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms on a four-year, $68 million extension with center Cam Jurgens on Monday.

The deal includes $39.4 million guaranteed for the 2024 Pro Bowl selection and runs through the 2029 season, per his agent Ryan Tollner at Excel Football.

The $17 million average annual value ranks second among centers in the NFL, according to Spotrac, trailing only the $18 million earned by the Kansas City Chiefs’ Creed Humphrey.

Jurgens, 25, took over for the retired Jason Kelce last season and played in 20 regular-season and playoff games (19 starts) for the Super Bowl LIX champions.

He has appeared in 44 regular-season games (27 starts) since Philadelphia drafted him in the second round out of Nebraska in 2022.

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens underwent a procedure to alleviate nerve pain in his back on Tuesday, nine days after he played in Super Bowl LIX.

Per a report from ESPN on Thursday, Jurgens is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp in July.

Jurgens, 25, replaced the retired Jason Kelce to start the season and earned a Pro Bowl nod after starting all 16 games in which he played.

Jurgens dealt with the injury throughout the playoffs. Although he was unable to start in the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders, he entered the game in place of Landon Dickerson after the latter sustained a knee injury.

Jurgens has started 27 of the 44 games in which he has played since being selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Nebraska.

Eagles C Cam Jurgens game-time decision vs. Commanders

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Eagles will make a decision on the availability of Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens following pre-game warmups prior to the start of the NFC Championship Game on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Jurgens was listed as questionable to play against the Washington Commanders due to a back injury. He was limited in practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two sessions of the week.

Left guard Landon Dickerson took reps at center this week and would shift to the position should Jurgens be deemed unable to play on Sunday. Should that arise, Tyler Steen would play in the left guard position.

Jurgens, 25, started all 16 games in which he has played this season and 27 of 44 games since being selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Nebraska.
