Struggling Eagles starter could miss London game after suffering concussion

The Philadelphia Eagles left guard Cam Jurgens has been placed in the concussion protocol following symptoms reported after their recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams. This development could potentially impact the Eagles' Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, as Jurgens may miss the match. If Jurgens is unable to play, second-year player Willie Lampkin is likely to start at left guard, replacing Jurgens.

Jurgens has struggled in his new role at left guard, allowing a high number of pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. Prior to the season, Jurgens had a successful stint as a center, signing a four-year, $68 million extension with the Eagles in 2024. With Jurgens' potential absence, Lampkin, despite being severely undersized, could step up and potentially secure the starting job for the remainder of the season.
