Cam Jurgens, the Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl center, underwent a back procedure to alleviate nerve pain. The surgery, performed by Dr. Robert Watkins in Los Angeles, is expected to ensure a full recovery by July, allowing him to return for training camp. Jurgens battled significant back pain during the Eagles' Super Bowl run, notably stepping up when his replacement, Landon Dickerson, was injured during the NFC Championship Game.

Jurgens, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, took over starting duties from veteran Jason Kelce and made an immediate impact, helping the Eagles’ offensive line achieve top rankings in both pass and run blocking. Now entering the final year of his rookie contract, his performance in training camp will be crucial for the team's success moving forward.
