Lane Johnson to start vs. Giants despite missing practice for personal reasons

Lane Johnson to play vs. Giants after the passing of his grandmother

The Philadelphia Eagles will play the New York Giants on Monday night and they’ll have the services of Lane Johnson despite the right tackle missing the last two practices.

Johnson isn’t out because of injury, but he’s mourning the death of his grandmother, as he posted on his Twitter account moments ago.

Johnson returned to the lineup last week against Miami, after dealing with a concussion the two weeks before.
