What you should knowThe Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 9. Here are the jerseys the teams will be wearing.Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to reporters earlier on Tuesday,
Jurgens, who made his first Pro Bowl team this season after taking over for longtime Eagle Jason Kelce, plays a critical role in Philly’s infamous “Tush Push,” a virtually unstoppable quarterback sneak play with Jalen Hurts in short-yardage situations.
Dickerson hadn’t snapped the football in a game since Sept. 29, when he handled seven. Philadelphia used Nick Gates for 12 snaps during a November game, then had him go all the way in the regular-season finale, when the Eagles sat many of their starters in preparation for the playoffs.

Cam Jurgens is in danger of missing Sunday’s NFC Championship Game so Landon Dickerson is ready to slide into that role.
But Sirianni acknowledged that it's not a typical bye week, what with two weeks to prepare for a single opponent, followed by the extensive media engagements in New Orleans, and preparing for a different game schedule with alterations such as the longer halftime break.
The Eagles did not practice on Wednesday but they released their first injury report since beating the Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game. This report should be taken with a grain of salt because there’s a long time before the Eagles play the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9.
Landon Dickerson earned unanimous All-American recognition and won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s best center for Alabama ’s 2020 unbeaten CFP national-championship team. During his four seasons in the NFL, Dickerson has worked as the Philadelphia Eagles’ left guard and earned Pro Bowl recognition three times.
Good news — the Eagles will have their Pro Bowl center and left guard for the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Retirement declarations can wait; the veteran Philadelphia Eagles defensive end can say with certainty, though, that he's trying to rehab a torn triceps and return for the Feb. 9 Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. “Whatever I've got to do for this one game,” Graham said Thursday, “I feel like I can do it.”
With the NFC Championship Game in our rearview mirror, we're still thinking about a half-dozen Eagles. Can they carry magic with them into Super Bowl Sunday?
