Jurgens

The Ravens acquired Jurgens from the Eagles two weeks ago, but he hasn’t made his Baltimore debut yet while he works through the league’s concussion protocol. A full practice today puts him on track to suit up in Week 7. His return will move rookie Vega Ioane back to right guard.

Jurgens has now missed each of his first two weeks with the Ravens as he tries to shake a brain injury he suffered while with the Eagles. Vega Ioane will likely man center again.

Jurgens still has a chance to play, but we had hoped to see him upgrade to full participation. Ravens EDGE Mike Green (hamstring) was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. Ravens OG Andrew Vorhees (foot) joins him in the limited column. Ravens RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) upgraded to full participation. Ravens OG John Simpson (groin) downgraded to a DNP.

The Ravens’ new starting center is still recovering from his recent concussion, but he seemingly has a chance to face the Browns this week. Ravens EDGE Trey Hendrickson (finger) and S Kyle Hamilton (stinger) are practicing fully, while RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), OG John Simpson (groin), OG Andrew Vorhees (foot), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) were limited.

He didn’t practice all week after coming over from the Eagles. It’s likely to be Vega Ioane at center again as they try to get Jurgens healthy to man the pivot in Week 6.

The Ravens have sustained several interior offensive line injuries in recent weeks. Things got so bad that they did not have a healthy center on the active roster or practice squad after Week 3. Jurgens is currently in concussion protocol and may not suit up this week, but he will take over as the team’s starter once healthy. The Eagles, in turn, will move forward Drew Kendall at center.

Jurgens departed the team’s Week 11 win over the Lions to be evaluated for a concussion. He increased his participation in each practice this week before drawing the questionable tag, ultimately removed from the injury report Saturday ahead of a matchup with the Cowboys.

Jurgens sat out Wednesday, was limited Thursday and practiced fully on Friday. He has not yet been cleared, but as long as he remains symptom-free, he is on track to play. The Eagles’ offense gets a boost with their reliable center on the field. Hopefully, he is good to go.

Jurgens is making progress in the NFL’s concussion protocol, but he has a ways to go before he can be viewed as more than questionable. Having their reliable center on the field would be great for a struggling Eagles offense as they take on the division-rival Cowboys.

Jurgens will likely miss Week 12 because of the brain injury. Right tackle Lane Johnson is also out this week. He is dealing with a Lisfranc injury and is expected to miss at least a month. Luckily for the Eagles, their banged-up line is facing Dallas’s bottom-tier pass-rush on Sunday. There are certainly worse matchups to be without two starters for.
