Jalen Hurts, Quinyon Mitchell, Dallas Goedert good to go for NFC Championship Game; Cam Jurgens listed as questionable

The Eagles held their final practice before their NFC Championship Game matchup with the Commanders indoors at the Nova Care Complex and got a lot of positives from it.

Jalen Hurts (knee), Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder), and Dallas Goedert (ankle) were all full participants and are all good to go for Sunday.

Hurts and Mitchell were both injured against the Rams in the NFC Divisional Round last week in the snowy Philadelphia. Hurts never left the game, but Mitchell never returned after his injury in the first half.

There was never any doubt Hurts would not be playing against Washington. He said he anticipates that he will be wearing a brace on his injured left knee.

Mitchell, who told reporters on Wednesday that he is ready to go and is playing on Sunday, is on track to play against Washington.

Goedert was a limited participant on Thursday. Goedert made five receptions for 61 yards, averaging 12.2 yards per catch, including a 32-yard grab against the Commanders in Week 11 at the Linc.

Meanwhile, Cam Jurgens was limited after not practicing at all on Thursday and is listed as questionable with a back injury. Landon Dickerson took first-team reps at center on Thursday with Tyler Steen at left guard, which is a little concerning for Jurgens’ game status.

Without Jurgens, the Eagles’ starting offensive line on Sunday could be: LT Jordan Mailata, LG Steen, C Dickerson, RG Mekhi Becton, RT Lane Johnson.

Jurgens declined to talk today because he had to get treatment, but the expectation is that he’s playing, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

We will find out if Jurgens is active or not when inactives are announced 90 minutes prior to kickoff, but it is safe to assume there will probably be a report out on Jurgens before then.

I personally am not worried about Goedert or Jurgens’ status, but we will see how things play out on Friday.

Here is the Eagles’ full injury report from Friday:

OUT: WR Britain Covey (neck), DT Byron Young (hamstring).

QUESTIONABLE: C Cam Jurgens (back).

For the Commanders:

OUT: OG Sam Cosmi (knee).

QUESTIONABLE: QB Jeff Driskel (illness), DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste (shoulder), DT Daron Payne (knee/finger).
