Eagles' Nolan Smith, Cam Jurgens Recover Post-Surgery

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith played through a torn triceps during their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, where the Eagles' defense dominated, allowing only 23 yards in the first half and securing a 40-22 win. Smith's injury, sustained in the first half, did not prevent him from contributing significantly, with two quarterback hits and a key role in the Eagles' defensive success. He has since undergone surgery and is expected to be ready for the 2025 season. This marked a breakout season for Smith, who recorded a franchise record of four postseason sacks. Additionally, Eagles center Cam Jurgens also underwent surgery for a back injury sustained earlier in the playoffs and is expected to recover fully by July. The Eagles are focusing on maintaining their core team, including Jurgens, as they look towards the next season.
