Eagles omitted Lane Johnson from public list of inactive players for Sunday

The Philadelphia Eagles caused confusion during their Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars by failing to include Lane Johnson on their public inactive list. Although the veteran right tackle has announced his retirement, the organization has opted to retain him on the 53-man roster for the remainder of the season.

While the team correctly identified Johnson as inactive in their official filings with the NFL, the omission from the public-facing announcement created the impression that he was available to play. This discrepancy highlights a potential ongoing issue for the team to manage in future game-day communications.
