Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson releases a statement addressing his absence from the team

Lane Johnson released a heartfelt and emotional statement on Monday morning, addressing his three-week absence from the Eagles lineup.

Johnson admitted that he suffers from anxiety and depression, something that he hid from family, friends, and those close to him, before finally deciding to address the issues head-on.

The Eagles star right tackle has battled numerous injuries over the past two seasons, as well as attrition to a roster that has now seen names like Malcolm Jenkins, Jason Peters, Carson Wentz, and Zach Ertz move on among others.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson gives an update on how long Brandon Brooks will be out with torn Pec

Eagles RT Lane Johnson gives an update on how long Brandon Brooks will be out with torn Pec

Brandon Brooks and Lane Johnson are best friends, so it only makes sense that the Eagles starting right tackle would have the scoop on how much time the starting right guard will miss.

Brooks won’t be out all season, but he’ll definitely miss the next 8-weeks.

Landon Dickerson will start at right guard in the absence of Brooks and some in Philadelphia believe it could become permanent going forward with the veteran missing a bulk of time over the past three seasons.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni confirms Landon Dickerson will start at RG vs. Cowboys

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirms Landon Dickerson will start at right guard vs. the Dallas Cowboys

The biggest secret at the NovaCare Complex has been confirmed, as Nick Sirianni acknowledged that rookie center Landon Dickerson will start at the right guard spot in place of the injured Brandon Brooks.

At 6-6, 325, Dickerson showed he can be dominant in the running game against the Niners and he played pretty well in the passing game despite missing the entirety of training camp while rehabbing from a torn ACL he suffered last December.

A versatile athlete, Dickerson played right guard as a true freshman at Florida State, left guard as a Sophomore, split time between center and right guard in 2019 at Alabama then settled into his job as the full-time center in 2020.
