Eagles Final Injury Report: 2 starters ruled out for game vs. Seahawks

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without a key starter in their huge home matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The Eagles released their final injury report, with Lane Johnson listed as out for the contest.

Nelson Agholor (knee), safety Rudy Ford (abdomen) and Johnson (concussion) were not at practice. Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and linebacker Nigel Bradham (ankle) were at practice and should be game-time decisions.

Rookie Andre Dillard will make his first career start at right tackle.

Jordan Howard hasn’t been cleared for contact and could miss his second straight game. Howard suffered a shoulder injury in the win over the Chicago Bears on Nov. 3, which was described as a “stinger”.

Andre Dillard will make the fourth start of his NFL career when he replaces Lane Johnson in the lineup for the Eagles’ game against the Seattle Seahawks. It’ll be the first time Dillard has ever played right tackle.

Dillard was an All-American left tackle at Washington State, but this will be the first time he’s ever played right tackle in a game. Asked for comparison to describe the difference to reporters after practice on Friday, Dillard compared the experience to having to write with a different hand.

Johnson left the Eagles’ loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday with a concussion, and was still in the concussion protocol on Friday and has yet to be cleared to return.

Andre Dillard will likely make his first start at right tackle on Sunday, as the Eagles will probably be without Lane Johnson, who is still in the concussion protocol.

According to the NFL’s return-to-participation protocol, Johnson must rest “until his signs and symptoms and neurologic examination, including cognitive and balance tests, return to baseline status.”

If Johnson can’t go, the rookie Dillard will slide over to right tackle.

As the Eagles defense gets healthy, players on the offensive side of the ball are banged up.

On Alshon Jeffery, Pederson stated that the wideout is expected to take part in individual drills, but won’t take part in any teamwork due to an ankle injury he suffered in the team’s win over the Chicago Bears.

Howard still isn’t cleared for contact and is expected to take part in individual work but no team drills.

Lane Johnson is still in the concussion protocol and Andre Dillard will take reps at the right tackle position.

Bill Belichick seems to have ‘fun’ with Lane Johnson after beating Eagles

It seemed like a harmless remark. But Bill Belichick was likely trolling.

Coach Bill Belichick may have taken a subtle jab at Philadelphia Eagles tackle Lane Johnson on Sunday after the New England Patriots logged a 17-10 win at Lincoln Financial Field.

Johnson has ripped into the Patriots on multiple occasions, most notably saying that New England is a “fear-based organization” with players who “act like [expletive] robots” and don’t have fun. So perhaps Belichick had a response for Johnson a postgame press conference on Sunday.

“It looked like everyone had fun out there today and we played a lot of good energy and it was good to come down here and get a win,” Belichick said.

Could it have been a coincidence? Surely.

Could it have been Belichick acting as a troll? Also, surely.

Here’s a look at what Johnson originally said after the Eagles beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. He was making an appearance on the Barstool Sports podcast “Pardon My Take.”

“I just think that the Patriot Way is a fear-based organization,” Johnson told the podcast’s hosts. “Obviously, do they win? Hell yes, they win. They’ve won for a long time. Do I think people enjoy [it] and can say, ‘I had a lot of fun playing there’? No, I don’t. That’s just the God’s honest truth. They’re successful, but when they go to interviews, they act like [expletive] robots. Hey, stop being a [expletive]. We can be cordial for a little bit. You only get to do this job one time, so let’s have fun while we’re doing it. Not to be reckless, but I’d much rather have fun and win a Super Bowl than be miserable and win five Super Bowls. But hey, it is what it is.”

It sure seemed like Bill Belichick had ‘fun’ trolling the Eagles after the Patriots’ win

“It looked like everyone had fun out there today.”

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick doesn’t usually have a lot to say after games but he always seems to understand all the storylines and talking points that are going around his team.

Which makes something that he said during the opening statement of his postgame press conference after Sunday’s win over Philadelphia a little interesting… and fun.

Remember when Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson said shortly after Philly’s Super Bowl win over the Patriots in 2018 that it didn’t seem like Patriots players had any fun playing for the now six-time Super Bowl champs?

Well, Belichick slid this gem into his presser on Sunday, saying: “It looked like everyone had fun out there today.”

It was part of the last line of his opening statement:

Was that done on purpose by Belichick? I’m gonna go with yes, absolutely, because the man always knows what he’s doing and saying “everyone had fun” doesn’t seem like something he’d normally say after a game.

The old football coach decided to have some fun of his own after the game, and it was fantastic.

Well played, Bill Belichick.
