The Eagles are facing injury concerns as key players miss practice ahead of their NFC Championship Game against the Commanders
Both guys were marked as “Did Not Practice” on the injury report. Jurgens is a big deal since he’s been solid as the starting center, stepping in for the legendary Jason Kelce. If he can’t go on Sunday, that would be a tough blow for the team.
Landon Dickerson, a Pro Bowler, stepped in at center during practice. He hasn’t played much there in the NFL, but he did in college, so he knows the ropes. If Jurgens is out, the offensive line will have a different look, with Dickerson at center and Tyler Steen taking over at left guard.
Goedert has been a key player for the Eagles, especially in the postseason, leading the team in receiving. If he can’t play, backup Grant Calcaterra will have to step up.
On a brighter note, other players who were limited earlier in the week, like QB Jalen Hurts and CB Quinyon Mitchell, were practicing. Everyone’s hoping Hurts will be good to go, but there’s still some concern about how mobile he’ll be after that knee injury.
