The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a massive loss to their offensive line on Sunday.

Veteran right tackle Lane Johnson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs for a personal matter, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Johnson was listed with an ankle injury this week but was a full participant in practice to close out the week and wasn't given an injury designation on the final injury report.

The 31-year-old's absence is huge for the Eagles, who will now be without four of their five starting offensive linemen from Week 1. Tackle Jordan Mailata was also ruled out, while guards Isaac Seumalo and Brandon Brooks are on injured reserve.

Center Jason Kelce is the only Week 1 starter from the offensive line suiting up for Sunday's game.

Philly's offensive line was already struggling, and with Johnson out, the Eagles are going to have a difficult time moving the ball against the Chiefs.
