Lane Johnson’s Injury Details
Johnson exited the game after a critical play involving a run by Saquon Barkley on a 3rd-and-short situation. Following the play, he was seen slowly walking to the locker room after briefly visiting the medical tent.
Potential Impact on the Team
- The Eagles may place Johnson on injured reserve, though the injury is not anticipated to end his season.
- Fred Johnson took over his position after Lane’s exit.
As the game concluded, the Eagles did not provide any further updates on Johnson’s condition.
Johnson’s Season Performance
At 35 years old, Lane Johnson has dealt with several injuries this season. He previously missed part of a game against the Green Bay Packers due to a left ankle injury but returned later in that match. Additionally, he faced challenges earlier in the season when he dealt with a stinger.
Despite these setbacks, Johnson has had a remarkable performance record this year. He entered the game against the Lions with a perfect knockdown percentage, having not allowed any sacks or quarterback hits.
As the Eagles navigate their season, the team and fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Johnson’s recovery and future availability.
