Experts update latest Eagles-Chiefs prediction after encouarging Cam Jurgens injury update

Super Bowl 59 is set with a rematch of just two years ago between the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with kickoff officially scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST.

After playing in a limited capacity in the NFC Championship vs. Washingotn, Eagles Center Cam Jurgens (back) appears in line to play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs. Jurgens was unable to start in that matchup against Washington due to his back injury but stepped in for 27 snaps when Landon Dickerson (knee) went down. Now, both linemen could be ready for Sunday, providing a significant boost to Philadelphia’s offensive line.

Despite his injury concerns, Jurgens has had a solid first season as the Eagles’ starting center following Jason Kelce’s retirement. His Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades show a well-rounded, if inconsistent, performance—posting a 67.1 overall grade (16th out of 64 centers). His strength has been in run blocking (68.5, 19th), but pass protection remains a concern (56.5, 48th), particularly against a Chiefs defense that features elite pass-rusher Chris Jones.

Jurgens’ availability is a key development for the Eagles, given his workload this season—playing 1,067 snaps (10th among centers) while allowing four sacks (58th) and committing six penalties (51st). While those numbers show room for improvement, his return to the starting lineup ensures continuity up front for Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and the Eagles' run-focused offense.

With no injury designation heading into the Super Bowl, Jurgens is expected to start and handle a full workload. His presence will be crucial as the Eagles look to establish their ground game and protect Hurts against Kansas City’s pass rush.
