Starting center Cam Jurgens (back) and tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) returned to practice on Friday ahead of the Eagles’ NFC Championship Game against the Commanders on Sunday.
Both Jurgens and Goedert were listed as non-participants to start the week and neither practiced on Thursday.
So it was a good sign for the Eagles to have them both back on the field Friday, participating in the final practice of the week.
In fact, every player on the Eagles’ 53-man roster was on the field as the Eagles practiced in uring these playoffs, Goedert has been the Eagles’ leading receiver with 8 catches for 103 yards. He also gives them a lot as a blocker in their run game. The Eagles’ backup tight ends on the roster are Grant Calcaterra and E.J. Jenkins.
Jalen Hurts (knee) was back on the field Friday after being upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. He’s going to play in the NFC Championship Game, it’s just a matter of how mobile he will be.
“I think he’s had a good week of practice,” head coach Nick Sirianni said, “and I think he’s done some really good things all week. We’ll see.”
The other notable injury coming out of Sunday’s game was to rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder). But the rookie was also upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and has already said he’s playing.
