- Philadelphia Eagles: Get Bad News on Up-and-Coming 5th Round Pick
The (2-2) Philadelphia Eagles play against the (3-1) Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Arguably the biggest storyline for the Eagles this season is the implosion of an offensive line that once boasted one of the league's top units for over a decade. Landon Dickerson remains on injured reserve with a knee injury and is eligible to return in Week 6; Lane Johnson announced his retirement on Tuesday; and Cam Jurgens , who moved from center to left guard, was traded to the Ravens on Wednesday. On top of that, Drew Kendall , who has taken over at center, suffered a knee injury in Week 4.

Drew Kendall did not participate during this week's practice, a concerning sign regarding his Week 5 availability. According to John Clark of NBC Philadelphia, the Eagles have ruled out Kendall against the Jaguars. In addition, the team promoted former Texas alum and undrafted free agent Jake Majors from the practice squad to the active roster. Majors is expected to take over as the starting center.
The projected starting lineup includes Jordan Mailata at left tackle, Willie Lampkin at left guard, Jake Majors at center, Tyler Steen at right guard, and Markel Bell at right tackle. Mailata and Steen are the only two Week 1 starters on the active roster. With only seven healthy linemen, the team will likely elevate one to the game-day roster.
