Cam Jurgens underwent a procedure for his back injury earlier this week to “to alleviate nerve pain,” according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Schefter adds that doctors believe the Philadelphia Eagles center will be fully recovered in July, which is when training camp begins.

Jurgens’ back injury is something that he was playing through in the playoffs. It caused him to miss a start in the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. Jurgens was kept active as an emergency backup to Landon Dickerson in that game, however, and he ended up having to play with Dickerson unable to return after halftime. Kudos to Jurgens for toughing it out and then being able to play in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win as well.

Taking over for Jason Kelce, Jurgens was named to the Pro Bowl in his first season as the Eagles’ full-time starting center. He was ranked 10th out of 28 centers graded by Pro Football Focus in 2024 (minimum 50% of snaps played).

2025 currently marks the last year of Jurgens’ rookie contract. The Eagles will likely be interested in signing him to a long-term extension this offseason. The money will be well-earned.
