Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens participated in pre-game warmups and is deemed active for the Eagles ahead of their NFC Championship Game on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Jurgens was a game-time decision against the Washington Commanders heading into the contest while dealing with a back injury.

Although listed as active, it's hardly a guarantee that Jurgens will play in the game. He was limited in practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two sessions of the week.

Left guard Landon Dickerson took reps at center this week and would shift to the position if needed. Should that arise, Tyler Steen would play in the left guard position.

Jurgens, 25, started all 16 games in which he has played this season and 27 of 44 games since being selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Nebraska.

While Jurgens is active, the Eagles listed the following players as inactive: cornerback Eli Ricks, defensive back Lewis Cine, wide receiver Ainias Smith and offensive linemen Nick Gates, Trevor Keegan and Darrian Kinnard. Tanner McKee is the team's emergency quarterback.

The Commanders listed wide receiver K.J. Osborn, cornerback Michael Davis, running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., linebacker Dominique Hampton, guard Sam Cosmi and defensive tackle Daron Payne as inactive.

Jeff Driskel is Washington's emergency quarterback.
