Right tackle Lane Johnson announced his retirement from the NFL after 14 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday. Johnson cited mental health and changes to his personal and family priorities as reasons for stepping away from football. A four-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler, Johnson won two Super Bowls with the Eagles (Super Bowl LII and LIX) and was a fourth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Los Angeles Rams 24-20 in Week 4 play, squandering a 10-point halftime lead. The Eagles scored no points in the second half and recorded only two third-down conversions on 21 attempts over back-to-back losses. Key offensive players including running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring injury), wide receiver DeVonta Smith, and tight end Dallas Goedert were unavailable for the game.
The Baltimore Ravens completed the trade for center Cam Jurgens to address significant injuries to their offensive line. Veteran center Tyler Linderbaum left in free agency to join the Las Vegas Raiders. The Ravens had attempted to fill the void with free agents Ethan Pocic, Danny Pinter, and Jovaughn Gwyn, but Pinter suffered a torn patellar tendon in training camp while Pocic and Gwyn both sustained long-term injuries and were placed on injured reserve.
Philadelphia Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson was placed on injured reserve after aggravating a knee injury sustained during training camp in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. Dickerson's injury required center Cam Jurgens to shift to the left guard position, with fifth-round pick Drew Kendall taking over center responsibilities.
The Philadelphia Eagles traded Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.

Jurgens had been a key member of the Eagles' offensive line that helped lead the team to victory in Super Bowl LIX.
