Cam Jurgens, Bradley Roby on track to return vs. KC

Eagles injury report: Cam Jurgens, Bradley Roby on track to return vs. KC originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles returned to the practice field on Thursday for the first time since coming back from the bye week and it looks like they’ll have a few players returning against the Chiefs on Monday night.

The only player on the active roster who was not practicing on Thursday was tight end Dallas Goedert, who suffered a broken forearm before the bye week. Goedert was a spectator on Thursday. Linebacker Nakobe Dean was placed on IR after foot surgery this week.

In Jurgens’ absence, the Eagles started veteran Sua Opeta for the first four games but went with the rookie Steen in Week 9. Getting Jurgens back against the Chiefs should be a nice boost.

Nickel cornerback Bradley Roby (shoulder) was also practicing on Thursday and it appears as though he’ll be able to return in Week 11. Roby has said as much on social media.

“I just think he’s got a lot of experience, and he’s sticky in coverage, and he’s smart, he’s tough,” head coach Nick Sirianni said of Roby. “If he’s available, which we’ll see, that will be helpful for our football team.”

In addition to those guys, tight end Grant Calcaterra (concussion) and Boston Scott (personal…
