In a crucial week leading to the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders, the Philadelphia Eagles faced some injury concerns during practice at Lincoln Financial Field. Center Cam Jurgens was sidelined due to a back issue, which led to Landon Dickerson stepping in, a role he previously excelled in during his college days at Alabama. If Jurgens cannot participate on Sunday, the offensive line is expected to feature Jordan Mailata, Tyler Steen, Dickerson, Mekhi Becton, and Lane Johnson.
Tight end Dallas Goedert was present at practice but did not participate fully, instead catching passes on the side. He has been pivotal in the postseason, leading the team in receptions and contributing to their playoff success. Should Goedert be unable to play, Grant Calcaterra will likely take over as the starting tight end.
The Eagles also made strategic moves to mitigate injury risks by signing veteran players for depth. Jalen Hurts and other previously limited players participated in practice, suggesting they will be ready for the big game. The team's ability to adapt to these challenges will be critical as they strive for victory in the championship game.
