Eagles Host Offensive Lineman After Lane Johnson’s Retirement 

His departure also creates an immediate depth concern. Center Cam Jurgens is currently dealing with a concussion, while Philadelphia has had to rely on younger players along the offensive line.

Brockermeyer could give the Eagles another option as they attempt to stabilize the unit. The rookie’s ability to play center makes him an intriguing candidate for a team suddenly dealing with several questions up front.

The Eagles have also turned to rookie Markel Bell at right tackle following Johnson’s absence. That could place even more pressure on the coaching staff to find reliable depth before the team faces Jacksonville in Week 5.

Philadelphia enters the matchup at 2-2 after dropping two straight games. The offensive line will be under particular scrutiny as quarterback Jalen Hurts prepares to operate without the veteran who protected his right side for much of his career.

For general manager Howie Roseman, the Brockermeyer workout is a small but important first step. Johnson cannot be replaced by one player, but the Eagles need to find answers quickly if they hope to get their season back on track.
