Eagles Face Key Injuries Ahead of NFC Championship vs. Commanders

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing injury challenges ahead of their NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders, with center Cam Jurgens (back) and tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) listed as non-participants in recent practices. Jurgens' absence raises concerns about the offensive line's cohesion, as Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson has moved to center, a position he has rarely played in the NFL. Goedert, who has been a key contributor in both receiving and blocking, was present but did not participate fully, which could limit the team's offensive options. Coach Nick Sirianni expressed uncertainty about Jurgens' and Goedert's availability, emphasizing the challenges posed by the Commanders' defense. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is recovering from a knee injury, was limited in practice but is expected to play. The team has also signed additional players to bolster their ranks in light of these injury concerns.
