Cam Jurgens Clears Concussion Protocol and Nears Ravens Debut

His availability would let rookie Vega Ioane move back to right guard and give Baltimore an experienced center to steady its injury-hit line.

Overview

  • The Ravens acquired center Cam Jurgens from the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade on Oct. 7 that sent a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick to Philadelphia.
  • Jurgens cleared the NFL concussion protocol and completed his first full practice with Baltimore on Wednesday, and reporters noted he practiced without the red non-contact jersey he had worn earlier.
  • The team views his likely Week 7 availability as the move that would return Vega Ioane to right guard and reduce the frequent lineup changes that have hit the Ravens' run and pass blocking.
  • Jurgens described the trade and recovery as an emotional 'whirlwind,' saying concussion effects had affected his emotional regulation and that he is starting to feel like himself again.
  • While practice signs and Jurgens' comments are encouraging, final game clearance remains procedural under NFL protocols and the Ravens have not issued a formal game-day roster confirmation.
