  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles faced a significant setback as they prepared to host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Starting right tackle Lane Johnson, who had been a key offensive player, was ruled inactive due to a personal issue. Backup Fred Johnson also had to sit out due to a knee injury. The Eagles now find themselves in a precarious position, with a 18-29 record without Johnson. The team's offensive struggles were on display in a 27-7 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 3, where they only managed to score a single touchdown. The Rams, on the other hand, are coming off a 1-2 preseason record and are determined to avoid a 1-3 start to the regular season. Star defensive linemen Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald will miss the game due to injuries, making it all the more challenging for the Rams to secure a victory against an Eagles offensive unit still finding its footing under first-year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.",
