Eagles Offense Prepares for Titans Amidst Dickerson Absence

Following star guard Landon Dickerson's placement on injured reserve, the Philadelphia Eagles are shifting center Cam Jurgens to left guard while starting second-year player Drew Kendall at center on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
Dickerson landed on injured reserve last week with a knee injury, forcing Philadelphia to reconfigure its offensive line after he struggled in Week 1 and called himself a liability.
Jurgens earned Pro Bowl selections in each of his first two seasons at center, though he played right guard in 2023, while Kendall showed promise during a full game in Week 18 last season.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts worked exclusively with Jurgens during the week and must now adjust to taking snaps from Kendall, a transition complicated by their established chemistry.
The new-look interior line faces a significant test on Sunday against Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, widely considered one of the NFL's top interior players.
