Eagles weigh line-up options after Lane Johnson retirement
Markel Bell is projected to take over at right tackle, while injuries and uncertainty leave the Eagles weighing options across the line.
The Philadelphia Eagles are assessing their offensive line after right tackle Lane Johnson announced his retirement following 14 seasons with the club. Johnson helped Philadelphia win two Super Bowls and earned six Pro Bowl selections.
Yahoo Sports’ review projects Markel Bell to start at right tackle. Fred Johnson, the only other tackle on the active roster, has missed the past two games with a knee injury. The report says practice squad tackles John Ojukwu and Kiran Amegadjie could be promoted, though no move is confirmed.
At guard and centre, Cam Jurgens is reportedly in concussion protocol, leaving his availability uncertain. If he cannot play, Willie Lampkin could make his first NFL start at left guard, with Drew Kendall projected to remain at centre.
Landon Dickerson remains on injured reserve and may be eligible to return from Week 6, but the report says it is unclear whether he will be ready. The projected line-up and any roster changes remain unsettled.
