What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles ruled out All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams due to personal reasons. With primary backup Fred Johnson also inactive because of an injury, rookie Markel Bell will start at right tackle. Philadelphia is already playing without Landon Dickerson, who was placed on injured reserve in September.

Why it matters: Johnson's absence further depletes a shuffled offensive line protecting quarterback Jalen Hurts. Johnson missed a week of training camp for personal reasons and previously stated that 2026 is likely his final NFL season. Hurts will play behind a unit featuring Cam Jurgens at left guard and Drew Kendall at center.

What to watch: Bell faces a heavy workload in his first career start. The Eagles will monitor Johnson's status as he manages his personal situation.
