Projecting Eagles' offensive depth chart after trading Cam Jurgens

The Philadelphia Eagles face significant changes across their offense after trading Cam Jurgens,losing Lane Johnson to retirement, and placing Tank Bigsby on injured reserve.

The offensive line requires the most immediate reconstruction. With Landon Dickerson also unavailable, Philadelphia must settle its left guard position, replace Johnson at right tackle, and decide whether Drew Kendall remains its long-term starter at center. Based on the previously supplied depth chart, Willie Lampkin and Markel Bell are the projected replacements at left guard and right tackle. Bigsby’s removal leaves Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley as the running backs listed on the chart.

Eagles’ updated offensive depth chart

The following projection promotes the listed backups into the openings created by Jurgens’ trade and Johnson’s retirement. It does not represent an announced starting lineup.

McKee and Payton both appeared in the supplied chart’s third quarterback column. Their separate order was not specified. The chart reflects personnel order, not current injury clearance.

Markel Bell gets the first opportunity to replace Lane Johnson

The most direct starting combination is Jordan Mailata, Willie Lampkin, Drew Kendall, Tyler Steen and Markel Bell.

Bell projects to remain at right tackle after starting there in Philadelphia’s most recent game. Drafted as a potential successor to Lane Johnson, Bell now has an opportunity to establish himself following Johnson’s retirement.

Fred Johnson provides the veteran alternative behind Bell. The immediate question is whether the rookie can deliver consistent protection alongside right guard Tyler Steen as Philadelphia works through its offensive line changes.

Morris remains the listed right-guard reserve. He could enter the left guard competition, but doing so would require a position adjustment rather than a straightforward promotion from the supplied chart.

Left guard is the central interior decision

Lampkin gets the first opportunity in this projection because he was listed behind Jurgens. His promotion would let Kendall keep developing at center, and Steen remain at right guard.

The Eagles still must determine which combination provides the most dependable protection and run blocking. If Morris becomes an option on the left side, Philadelphia would also need to account for the resulting change to its reserve plan at right guard.

Dickerson’s absence makes this an immediate starting decision, not simply a question of depth.

Once healthy: Dickerson could restore stability at left guard

If Dickerson returns and resumes his left guard assignment, the projected offensive line would look like this:

That alignment would restore experience at left guard and return Lampkin to a reserve role. It remains conditional on Dickerson’s availability and the coaching staff’s evaluation of the intervening lineup.

Kendall’s continued presence at center would allow Philadelphia to avoid another interior reshuffle. Jurgens’ departure strengthens his opportunity, but his performance will determine whether the assignment becomes permanent.

Bigsby’s absence increases the importance of running back depth

Removing Bigsby moves Shipley directly behind Barkley on the supplied chart. Philadelphia now has fewer listed options to distribute carries and cover an absence.

Shipley’s readiness becomes more consequential, and the Eagles must decide whether they need additional depth. For an offense already rebuilding its blocking combinations, dependable production from the available backs will be essential.

Dameon Pierce adds depth after Tank Bigsby goes on injured reserve

Dameon Pierce’s promotion from the practice squad to the active roster gives Philadelphia another running back after Tank Bigsby goes on injured reserve.

Barkley remains atop the projected depth chart, followed by Shipley and Pierce. Pierce provides another option for carries as the Eagles manage their available personnel, though his promotion alone does not establish how the workload will be divided.
