The Los Angeles Rams' pass rush is missing some key pieces, but so is the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line. The team announced that six-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Lane Johnson will miss the Week 4 battle with the Rams, among others.

Because Eagles backup right tackle Fred Johnson is also out, third-round rookie Markel Bell will start for Philadelphia. While Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett are both out for Los Angeles, the combo of defensive end Braden Fiske and edge rusher Byron Young will get a crack at the rookie offensive linemen.
The Rams need this win. After a devastating Week 3 loss to the Broncos, the Rams are falling behind in the NFC West race, and a victory would help them at least
keep pace with the 49ers and Seahawks and not fall too far behind. It helps, then, that the downtrodden Eagles will be without a lot of key offensive players against a defense that is chomping at the bit to prove to the league they're still one of the better units this season.
