Philadelphia and Jurgens (back) agreed to a four-year, $68 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jurgens earned Pro Bowl honors and a Super Bowl ring in his third pro season with the Eagles, and now he's getting a big payday to try to run it back. Philadelphia still has some questions up in the air regarding the interior of its offensive line after the recent departure of starting right guard Mekhi Becton, but hanging onto its center is a big piece of the puzzle going into the 2025 season and beyond. Jurgens' first order of business will be returning to the field after he underwent a procedure on his back in February, but he's expected to be healthy by the time training camp kicks off in July.

Philadelphia and Jurgens (back) agreed to a four-year, $68 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jurgens earned Pro Bowl honors and a Super Bowl ring in his third pro season with the Eagles, and now he's getting a big payday to try to run it back. Philadelphia still has some questions up in the air regarding the interior of its offensive line after the recent departure of starting right guard Mekhi Becton, but hanging onto its center is a big piece of the puzzle going into the 2025 season and beyond. Jurgens' first order of business will be returning to the field after he underwent a procedure on his back in February, but he's expected to be healthy by the time training camp kicks off in July.
Jurgens (back) underwent a procedure Tuesday to address a back injury that hampered him throughout the 2024 season, including Philadelphia's victory over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jurgens, who earned Pro Bowl honors in 2024, managed to play in Super Bowl LIX but wasn't able to start at center in Philadelphia's NFC Championship Game victory over Washington. He's expected to be fully recovered in July, and in time for the start of training camp. The 2025 campaign will be the final year of Jurgens' rookie contract.
Jurgens (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Super Bowl LIX matchup versus Kansas City. Jurgens practiced in full this week, and both he and LG Landon Dickerson (knee) are cleared to play Sunday. Jurgens was unable to start the NFC Championship two weeks ago against the Commanders but did come on in relief after Dickerson went down with an injury. Jurgens should be back at center for the Super Bowl, allowing Dickerson to kick back to left guard.
Jurgens (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Jurgens was unable to start at center during the Eagles' NFC Championship Game victory over the Commanders due to a back injury. The additional week off has helped the 2022 second-round pick progress enough in his recovery to participate fully in practices. Barring any setbacks, Jurgens should be given the green light to play Sunday against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Jurgens (back) doesn't carry an injury designation for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 against the Chiefs. Jurgens wasn't able to start the NFC Championship Game against the Commanders due to the injury, but he was able to come on in relief of an injured Landon Dickerson (knee) to play 27 offensive snaps. Both Dickerson and Jurgens are now cleared to face Kansas City on Feb. 9.
Jurgens (back) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Jurgens and left guard Landon Dickerson (knee) would've both been unable to practice had the Eagles hosted an on-field session Wednesday. The health of both Jurgens and Dickerson will be crucial to monitor for the Super Bowl against Kansas City on Feb. 9.
Jurgens (back) is active for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Commanders. Jurgens missed consecutive practices this week with a back issue before participating in a limited capacity Friday. The 25-year-old tested his health with a pregame workout and, while he's officially active, how much he plays Sunday is uncertain, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. If Jurgens is limited at all, expect Landon Dickerson to slide over to center while backup Tyler Steen steps in at left guard, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Jurgens (back) was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. Jurgens sat out Philadelphia's first two practices of the week, so it's encouraging to see him upgrade to at least a limited session Friday. Nick Gates will figure to start at center Sunday in the event that Jurgens isn't cleared to face Washington.
Jurgens (undisclosed) has returned to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Jurgens briefly left Sunday's game due to cramping, but he's returned to his spot at center.
