Cam Jurgens will be starting at center for the Philadelphia Eagles in their Week 12 road game against the Dallas Cowboys
Jurgens was officially upgraded to no game status after originally being ruled questionable to play on Friday’s injury report.
Jurgens missed practice on Wednesday while recovering from a concussion. He was upgraded to limited participation on Thursday before being upgraded to full participation on Friday.
The team is glad that Jurgens is able to play since his absence would’ve meant the Eagles would’ve been down both their starting center and starting right tackle.
Speaking of Lane Johnson, he was ruled out on Friday … but it’s interesting to see he wasn’t placed on injured reserve. Had he been placed on IR prior to 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday, this Week 12 game would’ve been the first of a minimum four games he must miss before being eligible to be activated. Perhaps the Eagles have hope he can return from injury before he has to miss four games? That doesn’t seem like a smart plan, especially since his reported recovery timeline was suggested to be four-to-six weeks. We’ll see.
In other non-moves news, the Eagles did not activate Willie Lampkin nor Myles Hinton from injured reserve. Their practice windows to return from IR are currently open; each player was officially ruled questionable to play against the Cowboys. But they’ll have to wait some more before returning to the field.
The Eagles also announced that DeVonta Smith is traveling separately from the team for personal reasons but he’ll be ready to play on Sunday afternoon.
