    DeCamara: Eagles fans 'have overlooked loss of Jason Kelce'

    The Philadelphia Eagles' offense will be without their All-Pro center Jason Kelce for the first time since 2011, a loss that Joe DeCamara believes fans are overlooking.

    "I believe as a fan base we have overlooked the loss of Jason Kelce and just acted like it's not really that big of a deal just because Cam Jurgens just steps in there and away you go," DeCamara said on Monday's 94WIP Morning Show. "I think that's a simplistic, and frankly too simplistic, of a way to look at it."

    Former Eagles fullback turned 94WIP Morning Show co-host Jon Ritchie has more confidence in Jurgens, a 24-year-old 2022 second-round pick.

    "What if this younger player has some ability to burst and move in ways that older Jason Kelce was no longer able to do?"

    Jurgens started 11 games for the Eagles last season at right guard alongside Kelce, playing 89-percent of the snaps.

    Jurgens will now move over to center, where he played in college at Nebraska, to replace Kelce. Tyler Steen, a 24-year-old 2023 third round pick of the Eagles, is expected to slot in as the team's starting right guard.
