But Jurgens appeared this week on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast with former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan in a wide-ranging appearance that also included some time spent talking about his injuries and recovery.

[…] “It’s getting better every day,” Jurgens said when asked how his back feels. Jurgens said on the podcast that his disk “broke off” before the playoffs and “wrapped around” his sciatic nerve. “It was hard to walk,” Jurgens said.

“I don’t know how I was playing. It was easily the worst month of my life but also the best month of my life because we won the Super Bowl. ” Jurgens required an epidural to dress for the Super Bowl, he said.

He didn’t start in the NFC championship game after going through warmups but was forced into action after Landon Dickerson went down with an injury. Jurgens then had surgery after the Super Bowl and worked his way back onto the field. But he dealt with pain and wasn’t fully rehabbed, he said, during the 2025 season.
