Who’s in and who’s out for the NFCCG.
The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their NFC Championship Game matchup against the Washington Commanders.
The following Eagles players WILL NOT PLAY: Tanner McKee, Nick Gates, Darian Kinnard, Trevor Keegan, Ainias Smith, Eli Ricks, and Lewis Cine.
Cam Jurgens is ACTIVE despite a pregame report that he is “unable to go.” It seems possible that Jurgens might only be active to play in an emergency scenario. Dealing with a back injury, he didn’t seem to fare well in pregame warmups.
If Jurgens indeed isn’t starting, Landon Dickerson will start at center in his place with Tyler Steen getting the nod at left guard.
Under the NFL’s emergency third quarterback rule, McKee is only allowed to play if both Jalen Hurts AND Kenny Pickett leave the game for good.
Kinnard, Keegan, Smith, Ricks, and Cine are all healthy scratches.
Nicholas Morrow and Khari Blasingame are active after being temporarily elevated from the practice squad.
