What happened: Center Drew Kendall was absent for a second consecutive day of practice due to a knee injury. Rookie Jake Majors assumed center duties for the Philadelphia Eagles, while second-year professional Willie Lampkin stepped in at left guard.

Why it matters: The lineup changes force two inexperienced players into critical blocking and communication roles up front. The shift tests the team's interior depth after multiple offseason departures.

By the numbers: Philadelphia selected Kendall 168th overall out of Boston College in the 2025 draft. He was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's initial injury report.

What to watch: Friday's final participation statuses will determine if Majors and Lampkin start this weekend.
