What happened: The NFL's league account honored Lane Johnson's Philadelphia tenure, saying the "LANE LANE" chant remains part of his Eagles legacy. Johnson was ruled inactive for Sunday's game with no transaction announced in the post.

Why it matters: Rookie Markel Bell started at right tackle in Johnson's absence. Johnson said in August that 2026 would likely be his final season, raising the stakes of each missed game for Philadelphia's offensive line.

What to watch: Watch Philadelphia's injury report and starting lineup ahead of the next game for Johnson's status.
