Willie Lampkin holds up in first NFL start against Jaguars

Stonewalled Matt Dickerson on TD draw in London

What happened: Willie Lampkin made his first NFL start at left guard for Philadelphia in London against Jacksonville, pairing inside with Jake Majors. Lampkin chipped Davon Hamilton to free Majors to the second level, reset his anchor to steer Arik Armstead wide in pass protection, and sealed Matt Dickerson out of the B-gap on a touchdown draw. He also stood up corner Jarrian Jones on a left-side blitz pickup.

Why it matters: The outing matters for a Philadelphia interior managing absences after Drew Kendall missed practice time and Lane Johnson was ruled inactive Oct. 4. A functional Lampkin-Majors combination preserves interior leverage for runs involving Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce.

By the numbers: Lampkin measured 5-foot-11 with 31 1/2-inch arms against Armstead at 6-foot-7 with 33-inch arms. Armstead logged 28 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 16 games in 2025 with Jacksonville.

What to watch: Watch whether Lampkin retains the starting left guard role when Philadelphia sets its next-week line.
