Philadelphia Eagles suffer huge injury blow ahead of NFC Championship game as star man is ruled out

Philadelphia Eagles star center Cam Jurgens is out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders with a back injury. Jurgens was considered a game-time decision and tested out his back dressed in football pants during pregame warmups. Ultimately, the Pro Bowler was deemed not fit enough to play.

His absence means Jalen Hurts will be taking snaps from a center that is not Jason Kelce or Jurgens for the first time in his career with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni's plan with Jurgens out for the game is to slide left guard Landon Dickerson to center.
Tyler Steen will insert into the Philadelphia starting lineup in Dickerson's usual spot. Jurgens had been the Eagles starting center for this entire season, taking over for Kelce after the NFL legend's retirement last March.
