The Eagles announced right tackle Lane Johnson was questionable to play against the Rams shortly before they released their inactive list for Sunday’s game and they confirmed that he won’t play when they announced that list.
Johnson is out for personal reasons and his absence leaves the Eagles very thin on the offensive line. They had already ruled out Fred Johnson with a knee injury on Friday, which leaves Markel Bell as the only option to step into the starting lineup. Interior linemen Willie Lampkin and Micah Morris are the only offensive line reserves available on Sunday.

It’s a big loss for an Eagles team that will also be without linebacker Zack Baun, safety Marcus Epps, tight end Dallas Goedert, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
The Rams will be missing defensive tackle Aaron Donald, but they will have wide receiver Puka Nacua available after he missed the last two games.
