What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles will be without several core offensive pieces for Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Tackle Lane Johnson was a late addition to the inactive list due to personal reasons, joining wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Marquise Brown.

Why it matters: The wave of inactive starters presents a significant hurdle for the Eagles as they look to improve a 2-4 record. Rookie tackle Markel Bell is expected to start in place of Johnson against a defensive front that has consistently stifled opponents.

What to watch: Watch how Philadelphia manages its passing game without its primary receiving targets. Los Angeles will look to exploit the adjusted offensive line early in the matchup.
