  "account": "Philadelphia Eagles' star offensive lineman Lane Johnson will miss Sunday's matchup against the Rams due to personal matters. The 36-year-old Johnson, a first-round draft pick in 2013, was a surprise addition to the inactive list just hours before kickoff. Johnson previously announced that his 14th NFL season might be his final. Known for his All-Pro status in 2017, 2022, and being a first-team All-Pro in 2021, 2023, and 2024, Johnson has previously taken a leave of absence due to anxiety and depression in 2021, which he later shared related to family issues, particularly caring for his parents. Eagles rookie Markel Bell, a 2026 draft pick, will take Johnson's place. The Eagles had already ruled out wide receiver DeVonta Smith with a hamstring injury and linebacker Zack Baun, who is dealing with a concussion and missed practice this week.",
