Eagles’ A.J. Brown, Cam Jurgens and Adoree’ Jackson sit out practice

The Eagles were down a few prominent starters at practice Wednesday, including Cam Jurgens (knee), A.J. Brown (hamstring), and Adoree’ Jackson (concussion), as the week of preparation began for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.

Jurgens, the 6-foot-3, 303-pound center, exited the game against the Minnesota Vikings with a right knee injury after the Eagles’ second possession. He appeared to suffer the injury on the first play of the game. Still, Jurgens finished the rest of the drive and returned for the next one with a brace on his knee.

Brett Toth took over for Jurgens at center for the rest of the game, starting with the Eagles’ third possession. Toth said after the game that Jurgens would require an MRI for his knee. Coach Nick Sirianni declined to reveal the extent of Jurgens’ injury or his anticipated status for Sunday’s game.

“We’ll see how it goes,” Sirianni said Wednesday. “He’s always going to do everything he can do and our trainers, our doctors, and our strength staff will do everything they can do to get him back going as soon as possible. We’ll see where we are. You’ll get the injury report later [Wednesday], but we’ll see where we are as the week continues and where Cam is.”

If Jurgens can’t play, the Eagles have a variety of options to consider to replace him. They could start Toth at center, leaving the rest of the offensive line intact.

Landon Dickerson, who was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice with ankle and back injuries, could slide over from left guard to center. The Eagles made that move when Jurgens was out for the start of the NFC championship game last season against the Washington Commanders with a back injury. The Eagles would have a few replacements to consider at left guard, including Toth or Matt Pryor.

The Eagles drafted Jurgens’ apparent backup at center in Drew Kendall this year, but the fifth-rounder out of Boston College has been active for only one game and has yet to take an offensive snap in the regular season.

“You’re constantly trying to think of what the best thing is for the football team,” Sirianni said of the Eagles’ backup options at center. “So you have options because of the guys that we have there, with Landon, with everybody, you have options there. You want to keep continuity as much as you possibly can, but you also want to give yourself the best opportunity to win.

“So all those things are weighed, how practice looks is weighed, how practice goes, and walk-throughs for that matter. But we’ve got a lot of confidence in the guys that if Cam can’t go, we have a lot of confidence in the guys that would be filling that spot.”

Meanwhile, Brown stood on the sideline in a sweatshirt alongside Dom DiSandro during the brief portion of practice open to the media. The star receiver played 46 offensive snaps (92%) against the Vikings and was on the field until the final passing play of the game, his 45-yard dagger on third-and-9 with 1 minute, 45 seconds remaining.

Brown missed eight training-camp practices with a hamstring injury. It is unclear if his current ailment is related to his previous one.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who dropped out of the Vikings game with an ankle injury, was also sidelined.

Additionally, Jackson and Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) were not present for practice. Both players exited Sunday’s game.

On Tuesday, Vic Fangio expressed doubt about Ojulari’s availability for this Sunday’s game against the Giants. He also noted that Kelee Ringo may get more opportunities to play at the starting outside cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell, putting Jackson’s status in question, too.

Fangio may have another option to consider at cornerback in Jakorian Bennett, as the Eagles opened his 21-day practice window on Wednesday. He was a limited participant in practice as he works his way back from a pectoral injury that landed him on injured reserve following the Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Grant Calcaterra (oblique) was a limited participant Wednesday in his first practice in two weeks. The 26-year-old tight end exited the Week 5 game against the Denver Broncos and missed the two games that followed.

Dallas Goedert (calf) and Moro Ojomo (shoulder) were also listed as limited participants on the injury report.

Brandon Graham, who ended his retirement and signed with the Eagles on Tuesday, was a full participant for his first practice of the season.
