Eagles HC Doug Pederson optimistic RT Lane Johnson will play vs. the Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to play their first game since the Week 9 bye and head coach Doug Pederson is hopeful he’ll have star right tackle Lane Johnson available. Johnson has been a limited participant at practice this week, but Pederson said he was helpful the Eagles best linemen would be available.

Johnson was expected to play against Dallas two weeks ago but woke with a swollen knee and was downgraded to out.
