The Eagles held their first of three practices Thursday before leaving for New Orleans this Sunday, where they will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday Feb. 9 at Caesar's Superdome.

Center Cam Jurgens (back), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and left guard Landon Dickerson (knee) remained out of Thursday's practice for the Eagles.

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.

The Philadelphia Eagles' biggest question mark about their starting lineup is whether or not starting center Cam Jurgens will be available to suit up in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Philadelphia Eagles are putting in Cam Jurgens after Landon Dickerson is questionable to return with a knee injury.

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.
