Dallas Goedert, Cam Jurgens miss practice – NBC Sports Philadelphia
A couple key Eagles were not practicing on Thursday as the Eagles prepare to host the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
Tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) was at practice at the Linc but did not have a helmet and was not participating. He did catch some passes on the side of the field while his teammates warmed up. And center Cam Jurgens (back) wasn’t seen at practice at all during the portion open to reporters.
Both Goedert and Jurgens were listed as “DNP” on the Eagles’ estimated injury report after a walkthrough to start the week.
Jurgens was a Pro Bowler in his first season as the Eagles’ full-time center, replacing legend Jason Kelce, so it would be a big loss if he can’t play on Sunday.
On Thursday, Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson worked at center. While Dickerson hasn’t played much center during his four-year NFL career, he did play center in college and has a good command of the offense. Tyler Steen replaced Dickerson at left guard.
If Jurgens can’t play on Sunday, the Eagles’ offensive line would likely look like this (from left to right): Jordan Mailata, Tyler Steen, Landon Dickerson, Mekhi Becton, Lane Johnson.
Goedert missed some time this season but is leading the Eagles in receiving through the first two games of this postseason. He has 8 catches for 103 yards the last two weeks after missing seven games in the regular season. He has also been a key cog in the Eagles’ run game as a blocker.
If Goedert can’t play, backup Grant Calcaterra would be the TE1 in this game.
All of the Eagles who were listed as limited to start the week were practicing on Thursday: QB Jalen Hurts (knee), CB Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder), WR AJ Brown (knee/rest), WR Britain Covey (neck), T Lane Johnson (knee/rest), OLB Josh Sweat (ankle/rest).
The two biggest questions after the divisional round win over the Rams were about Hurts and Mitchell. Both are expected to play on Sunday. The next question is about just how mobile Hurts will be with that left knee injury. Hurts had his left leg get caught under him awkwardly on Sunday and was limited after the injury.

Dallas Goedert, Cam Jurgens miss practice – NBC Sports Philadelphia
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert and center Cam Jurgens were absent from practice today, raising concerns among fans and coaching staff.
Goedert, who has been a key player for the Eagles this season, was seen on the sidelines during practice, but did not participate in any drills. It is unclear why he was held out of practice or if his absence will impact his availability for the next game.
Jurgens, a rookie center, was also missing from practice, further complicating the situation for the Eagles’ offensive line. It is unknown if Jurgens’ absence is due to an injury or another issue.
Both players are integral to the Eagles’ success this season, so their absence is definitely a cause for concern. Fans will have to wait for updates from the team to learn more about the status of Goedert and Jurgens. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
