The fallout of the failed Maxx Crosby physical this offseason was felt during the past week's Cam Jurgens trade and might just factor into additional NFL trades in the future.
As the Ravens and Eagles were preparing to agree to a trade that would send Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Baltimore in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick, the two sides made immediate plans for Jurgens to have a physical in Philadelphia before any deal was finalized, league sources told ESPN.
The Ravens sent two of their doctors -- their chief medical officer and head trainer -- to the Eagles' training facility Wednesday morning. In a quiet part of the room, without the majority of the Eagles organization even noticing, Ravens doctors put Jurgens -- who still is in the concussion protocol and had back surgery in 2025 -- through the type of physical that Crosby did not pass, sources said.
After Ravens doctors examined Jurgens and deemed him physically fit for the trade, the two teams finalized a deal that was revealed a short time later, sources said. It was the Ravens' first trade since March, when they agreed to acquire Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders -- until he had his physical.
