The Eagles’ offensive line entered the offseason with a clear problem: too much uncertainty behind the veterans, especially after injuries hit the starters during the 2025 season.
Philadelphia tried to patch that hole in the draft by taking offensive tackle Markel Bell in the third round and offensive guard Micah Morris in the sixth. But the move that may matter more right away came later, and it barely registered once A.J. Brown was traded and the Eagles kept making additions.
That move was the signing of offensive guard Michael Jordan.
Jordan arrives in Philadelphia with real mileage on him. A former fourth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2019, he has already played for five teams and appeared in 78 games with 49 starts.
Last season with the Buccaneers, he started nine of 11 games and gave up 25 pressures, two quarterback hits and two sacks across 464 pass-blocking snaps. Pro Football Focus graded him at 49.7 overall, which ranked 72nd out of 81 interior linemen, but his pass-blocking grade was 71, good for 19th.
That split tells the story of why he’s intriguing for the Eagles. Jordan may not be a clean lock to win a job, but he’s at least in the conversation.
Right guard has been a question mark, with Tyler Steen under scrutiny as the possible long-term answer. Jordan has spent most of his career at left guard, but he did log 69 snaps at right guard with Tampa Bay last year, so the position isn’t foreign to him.
That gives Philadelphia something it badly needed: a real battle, not just a placeholder. Fans were hoping Mekhi Becton would be brought back, and that didn’t happen.
Steen posted better numbers in 2025 than Jordan did, so he would enter any competition with the edge. Still, Jordan’s pass-blocking ability makes this more than a token challenge.
Even if Steen keeps the job, the Eagles are better off with Jordan in the building than they were with Pryor. At minimum, he deepens the group. At best, he forces a decision at right guard and gives Philadelphia a chance to sort out the line before 2026.

This Eagles Roster Longshot Could Become Camps Biggest Surprise
Erik Ezukanma got his shot with Philadelphia after OTAs, bringing a rsum that already includes stops with the Dolphins and Jaguars, plus a run in the UFL. For a receiver trying to stick in Eagles camp, that kind of path usually means starting from the back of the line, but Ezukanma does arrive with enough versatility to be more than a one-trick audition. He can line up as a receiver, handle the ball as a runner, and help on special teams, which gives him at least a way to get noticed while the competition at wideout sorts itself out.
The real opening may come in the return game, where the Eagles are looking to replace departed contributors and clean up an area that can swing field position quickly. Ezukanma does not need to win a starting job to matter, and that is what makes him an interesting camp name: there is a path for him to carve out a role if he can turn those extra reps into something useful on special teams. In a crowded room, that kind of value can keep a player in the conversation longer than most people expect. [Read more 🡒]
Howie Nailed This Eagles Draft Class But One Ending Still Stings
The 2022 draft class keeps looking better for the Eagles, even with only five picks to work with. The group gave Philadelphia the kind of haul teams spend years trying to assemble, starting with the move that brought A.J. Brown to town and continued with Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens and Nakobe Dean. Brown became the headline grab, earning All-Pro recognition while producing at an elite level across his four seasons in Philadelphia, a reminder that one bold draft-day swing can reshape a roster faster than any day-three stash.
Jordan Davis has turned into part of the payoff too, and his 2025 breakout finally matched the traits that made him such an intriguing selection in the first place. Jurgens has grown into one of the leagues better centers and Deans career arc has been more frustrating, which is why the draft class still carries one note of unfinished business even in a review that otherwise reads like a win for Howie Roseman and the Eagles.

Eagles Draft Pick Already Facing A Brutal O-Line Roster Squeeze
The Eagles are sorting through their offensive line picture heading into training camp, and the long-term plan is already getting crowded. Philadelphia used this years draft to add Markel Bell and Micah Morris as developmental options who could grow into future starters, while the coaching staff also has a new voice in Chris Kuper as it evaluates who can stick on the line and who is simply part of the offseason numbers game.
Cameron Williams is one of the young players caught in that squeeze. The 2025 sixth-round pick missed most of his rookie season because of a shoulder injury and only got into action in Week 18 against Washington, so every camp rep matters as he tries to carve out a backup role. With the Eagles continuing to shuffle pieces around up front, Williams has little margin for error as the competition tightens. [Read more 🡒]
