Eagles C Cam Jurgens undergoes back procedure

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

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.
