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.

Eagles Rookie Tracker: Who stands out after September?

Going defensive heavy again in the draft this past year, the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) eight rookies have had promising developments in the preseason and regular season so far.

Going defensive heavy again in the draft this past year, the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) eight rookies have had promising developments in the preseason and regular season so far.

The two guys I think who stand out the most after September are safety Sydney Brown and defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Both guys have had stellar performances already and will only get better as the season progresses. Carter is also currently in the Defensive Rookie of the Year running at (+100) odds on BetMGM.

Below are all of the rookies’ stats and thoughts so far after their performances in September or preseason in August.

QB Tanner McKee

For McKee to have to play, Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota would have to be injured – which would be the least ideal position for the team to be in this early in the season. Luckily, we know what McKee is capable of as he put up great numbers in preseason.

OL Tyler Steen

Steen is another guy who probably won’t get much play time this season unless one of the core offensive linemen goes down. That’s not to say I’m not impressed with Steen either, but I’m also looking forward to how he develops under this core group of guys as the season progresses. I wouldn’t be opposed to getting him snaps later in the season if the Eagles put themselves in a position to succeed in the postseason. I think Steen is a good guy to keep around as the core offensive guys get older.

LB Nolan Smith

Obviously, the Eagles linebacker room is stacked, so Smith is probably going to be spending time developing in the linebacker room. So far this season, he’s had one solo tackle.

CB Kelee Ringo

Ringo had two solo tackles so far this season. I’m excited to see him continue to develop. Obviously, the cornerback room is stacked right now, but it’s exciting to watch Ringo continue to develop and already excel this rookie season.

CB Eli Ricks

Ricks hasn’t had much play time, if any, yet this regular season. However, he’ll be an interesting guy to keep around as he had a fantastic college career. Also, having the Alabama background coming to the Eagles continues to build the bond around the guys who come from Alabama and Georgia.

S Sydney Brown

Brown is a great player who had a great season. Since preseason, I’ve been rooting for him to make the team in an already shaky safety room. He’s had three tackles and one pass deflect so far. He’s been a speedy defensive guy that I think the Eagles will really benefit from.

DT Jalen Carter

Carter is one of the stellar guys the Eagles picked up and I could not be happier about it, on top of having Jordan Davis as well. The defense is getting beefed up and Carter, among the others is only just getting started. So far this season he’s had five tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

DT Moro Ojomo

Unfortunately, Ojomo suffered a concussion in the preseason so of course a longer recovery time is necessary. Before the injury, I thought Ojomo would be another fantastic defensive guy in development under the Eagles. I hope the team gets to see what he’s able to do in the regular season.
