Ravens Reveal Plan for Newly-Acquired Center Cam Jurgens
The Baltimore Ravens have revealed when fans can expect to see new center Cam Jurgens in the starting lineup.
The Baltimore Ravens secured a solution to their center position by acquiring former Philadelphia Eagles player Cam Jurgens in a trade deal on Wednesday. The team has high expectations for Jurgens, who could potentially hit the field as early as Week 6. Head coach Jesse Minter expressed this optimism, stating that Jurgens is likely to be ready for the upcoming game.
The Ravens made this move by trading a 2027 fifth-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2027 seventh-round pick for Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick. This trade comes in response to the team's struggles at the center position since losing three-time Pro Bowler Tyler Linderbaum to the Las Vegas Raiders in the offseason.
Jurgens, who allowed 12 total pressures in pass protection, including one sack and one hit, demonstrated his capabilities during the season. Minter is confident in Jurgens's transition due to his experience with different offensive coordinators during his time with the Eagles. Born in Nebraska and a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Jurgens earned third-team All-Big Ten Conference honors in 2021.
