Eagles Injury Report: Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and DeVonta Smith among 24 players listed
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report of the week on Wednesday in advance of their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers. There are 24 players listed. 24!

- Oct 11 David Lombardi (X) This is crazy. The Eagles are in such a tough salary-cap spot that they must essentially forfeit a roster spot for the rest of the season, and 53-man roster spots are VERY valuable · Quoting Zach Berman: Lane Johnson will be listed among the inactives today. My understanding is that this will be the case throughout the season and that the current plan is to keep Johnson on the 53-man roster. There are salary cap implications if Johnson is placed on the reserve/retired list with the acceleration of the cap hit. If it processes post-June 1, the Eagles can spread the cap hit over two years and preserve some flexibility. Keeping Johnson on the 53 would also allow Johnson to return to the roster in the unexpected event that Johnson were to come out of retirement this season. Of course, this also means the Eagles will essentially have a 52-man roster this season. It's something they'll need to navigate with practice squad elevations.

- Oct 11 EJ Smith (X) Lane Johnson remains on the #Eagles 53-man roster and my understanding is the team has no immediate plans to process his retirement this season. He will be among the inactives today and in games moving forward. The rationale is two-fold: - There are significant salary cap ramifications for placing him on the reserve/retired list. - Once officially retired, he isn’t permitted to return this season. (I don’t suspect the decision was made anticipating this as a likelihood, though.)

- Oct 11 Dave Zangaro (X) You might have noticed the Eagles didn't put Lane Johnson on the reserve/retired list. The expectation is he remains on the Eagles’ 53-man roster all season. While it’s unlikely Johnson returns, the Eagles would welcome it. But it also helps their salary cap situation to keep him on the 53 this season. They will likely process the retirement in June.

As he shared everything that he was battling mentally (and physically) it sounded like him stepping away from the game was like mourning someone you truly love! 😩 Lane took his mental state to the end of the Earth, not for money and accolades, but for Philly, the Eagles Organization and his love for his teammates! Today Lane chose himself and his family!!! Not selfishly, but because it’s TIME‼️ Years of dominance and excellence, Super Bowl trophies, etc.. This was the hardest thing in the world for this man to do today! With love and grace, send your support to @LaneJohnson65 And as a brother and football fan, Thank you!! Enjoy Retirement!!+1
- Oct 7 Josina Anderson (X) This is astonishingly inconsiderate of such a sensitive topic as mental health.

Lane Johnson, an advocate for mental health over the course of his career, says in his statement he “deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year.” That was part of the consideration when he stepped away from the team for a bit during camp. But says now, after missing Sunday’s game, “Right now, it is critical that I focus on my mental health.”

In truth, everybody else orbited around Lane Johnson. · Quoting Jason Kelce: Lane Johnson is a special player, but more importantly a special person! I love him like a brother! For the past decade, Lane has been the best Right tackle in the NFL. His athleticism, technique, strength, and size, combined to make him a player few could get around. His pass set and movements looked more like an art than someone who punched people for a living. It was a pure joy to watch him play for all these years, but even more so, it was a pure joy to be his friend. Lane could make me laugh, cry, and smile all in a matter of hours.

- Oct 6 EJ Smith (X) We'll have an emergency podcast live soon, but as I organize my thoughts: - Lane Johnson will go down as one of the greatest players in #Eagles history. Should be a Hall of Famer. - He seriously considered retirement this offseason and in training camp. Both of his parents have medical issues and being present with his family was clearly very important to him. - Lane's willingness to be open about mental health struggles throughout his career is incredibly admirable. For someone who often seemed superhuman on the field, his willingness to be vulnerable off of it should be commended just as much.
