JACKSONVILLE \u2014 The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> look as if they will be undermanned overseas.<\/p>\n

The Eagles (2-2) will be without two longtime starting offensive linemen when they make the trip across the pond to play the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And they could be without two of their biggest offensive stars, with running back Saquon Barkley<\/a> and receiver DeVonta Smith both dealing with hamstring injuries.<\/p>\n

Coach Nick Sirianni\u2019s message to his team: lock arms and let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery adversity that I\u2019ve been in through my life, they\u2019re not comfortable at the time, but they produce the most growth,\u201d Sirianni said.<\/p>\n

Six-time Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson abruptly retired<\/a> Tuesday and then the team traded two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens to Baltimore a day later. The moves thrust rookie right tackle Markel Bell and second-year guard Willie Lampkin into starting roles against the Jaguars (3-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have all the faith in the world because that\u2019s just who he is, man,\u201d Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata said of Bell. \u201cPeople have doubted him his whole career, whether that be JUCO, college or even now. \u2026 He\u2019s got a tremendous task. That\u2019s calling it how it is. Lane Johnson is one of one. What he\u2019s done with his career, don\u2019t know if it will ever be repeated again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I told Markel is that he\u2019s not here to fill anyone\u2019s shoes. He\u2019s here to make his own.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eagles were scheduled to land in London on Saturday morning and will face a quick turnaround before playing. The Jaguars planned to arrive a day earlier for a 10-day stay at a country retreat northwest of London.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, the travel can be a challenge,\u201d said Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is 4-3 in seven starts in the UK. \u201cBut I feel like as much as we\u2019ve done it, we at least know what we\u2019re getting into and kind of the routine and how it goes and how to best take care of all the stuff so you\u2019re good to play Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jaguars will face AFC South rival Houston next week at Wembley Stadium. They are 7\u00bd-point favorites against the Eagles, who have lost two in a row.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville has won 11 of its past 12 regular-season games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about us,\u201d Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said. \u201cWe\u2019re supposed to lose every game; people are waiting for us to fail. We know we\u2019re a good team.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody here is doubting anybody. We just got to keep doing what we do. That\u2019s been the message all along: get to a point to where we respect what we have going on and we\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
