Jurgens’ injury was one of several Philly dealt with last season, leading to questions about the future of the offensive line group, with Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson rumored to be considering retirement. However, both decided to return for at least one more run at another Lombardi. The expectation in the 2026 draft is that the Eagles will select potential future starters to eventually take over.
While the brutal injury caused Jurgens, who inked a contract extension last offseason, to consider his career longevity “a little bit,” the 26-year-old didn’t indicate any intention of walking away soon.
“I love football, and I want to play as long as I can and hopefully just keep playing in Philly,” Jurgens said. “There aren’t too many better places to play football than with the Eagles.
“It would just be nice to get through a few contracts. I don’t know. We’ll figure it out year by year. Right now, I’m playing, and I’m going to play as long as I can.”
