Philadelphia Eagles starting center Cam Jurgens and tight end Dallas Goedert unexpectedly popped up on Wednesday's injury report as the team gets ready to take on the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. 

The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday, which Jurgens did not participate in due to a back injury while Goedert sat out with an ankle injury. 

Six other players were limited: quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee), cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder), wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee/rest), right tackle Lane Johnson (knee/rest), defensive end Josh Sweat (ankle/rest), and Britain Covey (neck).

Eagles backup quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) and defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring) were full participants. 

Eagles vs. Commanders NFC Championship Injury Report Observations

  • Center Cam Jurgens played all offensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams, so his name is a surprise. 
  • Tight end Dallas Goedert also played all but three offensive snaps in the win. 
  • Quarterback Jalen Hurts injured his knee against the Rams but appeared to be walking just fine at Wednesday's walkthrough, per multiple reports. 
  • Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell confirmed with reporters he will play on Sunday. 
  • Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett injured his ribs in Week 16 and then again in Week 17. This is the second week straight that he's back at practice in full.
  • Wide receiver A.J. Brown injured his knee ahead of Week 16's matchup but has played through the injury.
  • The Eagles signed tight end Nick Muse and offensive lineman Cameron Erving to the practice squad for emergency depth behind Goedert and Jurgens. 
  • The Eagles opened wide receiver Britain Covey's (neck) 21-day practice window on Wednesday. 
  • They opened defensive tackle Byron Young's (hamstring) 21-day practice two weeks ago.
