Overview
- Jurgens, speaking on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast this week, said his back feels “better every day” after a stem-cell procedure in Colombia.
- He explained that a spinal disc broke off before the 2024 playoffs and wrapped around his sciatic nerve, and he needed an epidural to suit up for Super Bowl LIX.
- After the Super Bowl, he had surgery to repair the herniated disc, then played through 2025 while not fully recovered and still earned a Pro Bowl nod.
- The Eagles signed him to a four-year, $68 million extension last April, and he said the injury made him rethink his career timeline a little, though he wants to keep playing in Philadelphia.
- Philadelphia’s line still faces transition and health questions, with veterans Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson choosing to return for 2026 and the team preparing for future depth as line coach Jeff Stoutland departs.
