Eagles' Cam Jurgens Active but Limited for NFC Championship Game
Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens is officially active for the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders, but his role remains limited due to a back injury. Despite participating in pregame warmups, Jurgens is not expected to start, according to multiple reports. Instead, Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson is set to slide over to center, with Tyler Steen stepping in at left guard. Jurgens, who was limited in practice throughout the week, may only be available in an emergency capacity.
Jurgens, a first-time Pro Bowler in his first season as the Eagles’ starting center, has been a key figure in the team’s offensive line. His absence could disrupt the cohesion of the line, particularly in the run game, where he has been instrumental. The Eagles did not elevate any offensive linemen from the practice squad, signaling confidence in their contingency plan.
The Commanders, meanwhile, will be without defensive tackle Daron Payne, who is sidelined with a knee injury and a broken finger. Payne’s absence is significant, as he has been a cornerstone of Washington’s defense, particularly against the run. The Eagles’ inactives include quarterback Tanner McKee, cornerback Eli Ricks, and defensive back Lewis Cine, among others.
The NFC Championship Game, set for Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, will determine which team advances to Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles and Commanders split their two regular-season matchups, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown.
