Lane Johnson to miss Eagles Week 12 matchup vs. Bills with groin soreness

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson for the teams Week 12 matchup against the Buffalo Bills after he woke up with groin pain.

The Eagles will be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson for Sunday’s matchup against the Bills after the veteran woke up with groin soreness. Johnson missed two games at the end of the 2022 season after tearing his adductor muscle in a Week 16 loss to Dallas.

One of the toughest players in the NFL, Johnson rehabbed for about three weeks, choosing to forgo surgery until after the 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are 88-48-1 (.646 win pct.) in games in which Lane Johnson has played and 13-22 (.371) when he is not in the lineup.

Lane Johnson is questionable for Eagles matchup vs. Bills with a groin injury

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro offensive tackle Lane Johnson (groin) has been downgraded to questionable vs. the Buffalo Bills with a groin injury

The Eagles could be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson, as the team downgraded him to questionable ahead of Sunday afternoon’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Johnson missed two games down the stretch last season with a torn adductor and had groin surgery after Philadelphia’s 38-35 loss to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

If Johnson can’t play, Jack Driscoll, Tyler Steen, or Fred Johnson could get the start at right tackle against the Buffalo defense with the second-most sacks in the league entering today’s games with 39 on the year.

Takeaways and observations from Eagles 27-13 loss to Colts in preseason finale

We’re looking at takeaways and observations from the Philadelphia #Eagles 27-13 loss to the Colts in the preseason finale

Philadelphia is a Super Bowl favorite, and the march toward another deep postseason run can now begin after an efficient summer and meaningful preseason.

The Eagles concluded their 2023 preseason with a 0-2-1 record and no serious injuries outside of the thumb surgery that’ll sideline Haason Reddick for a few weeks.

The starters sat, while Tanner McKee again shined, but it wasn’t enough as the Colts built on a 17-13 halftime lead and exited Lincoln Financial Field with a 27-13 road win.

The Eagles will now work towards the August 29 roster cutdown day, with Thursday night providing some early indicators of who’s in and who’s out.

With the teams off on Friday, here are takeaways and observations of the final preseason game.

Eagles sign offensive tackle Fred Johnson to a two-year deal

Fred Johnson will likely be the backup left tackle for Philadelphia and the #Eagles just re-signed the offensive tackle to a two-year deal

Hours after Howie Roseman tore up his contract, Fred Johnson signed a new two-year deal to be the primary backup to left tackle, Jordan Mailata.

Johnson had his contract terminated on Wednesday, and now we know that was simply the precursor to Johnson being around long-term after a promising summer.

Johnson was signed to the practice squad last November and returned on a reserve/futures deal this offseason.

Now, after impressing in training camp, Johnson is a part of Philadelphia’s long-term roster goals.

The Philadelphia #Eagles are moving on from veteran offensive tackle Fred Johnson after terminating his contract

We had Fred Johnson projected to make the Eagles 53-man roster as a backup left tackle to Jordan Mailata, but it appears Howie Roseman had another idea.

According to NFL Communications, the team terminated Johnson’s contract on Wednesday.

Johnson logged 35 snaps in the Eagles preseason matchup against Cleveland, and the fifth-year offensive tackle had a solid preseason before the move.

Predicting the Eagles’ 16-player practice squad for 2023 after OTAs

We’re taking an early look at predicting the Philadelphia Eagles 16-man practice squad after OTAs and ahead of training camp

The Eagles have concluded OTAs, and they’ll break until late July and then report for training camp as they work to shred a 90-man roster down to 53.

Howie Roseman has been open about building the roster with undrafted free agents, and the 2023 class had several big-named stars holding second-day draft grades.

Philadelphia officially welcomed seven new members to their roster with their 2023 NFL draft class, and the wealth of young talent signed to the training camp roster won’t be reduced to just that group of players.

One week after the draft, the team announced the signings of 9 undrafted rookies ahead of the minicamp.

Recent undrafted free agents who’ve had game action with Philadelphia include Reed Blankenship, Britain Covey, Josh Jobe, Corey Clement, Sua Opeta, Nate Herbig, Kayode Awosika, Joe Ostman, Jack Stoll, Brett Toth, Greg Ward, Marvin Wilson, T.J. Edwards, and future Hall of Famer Jason Peters, who originally signed with the Bills.

We previously released our updated 53-man roster predictions, and with training camp fast approaching, we’re predicting Philadelphia’s 16-man practice.
