Eagles RT Lane Johnson downgraded to questionable vs. Bills

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday’s game against the visiting Buffalo Bills due to a groin injury.

A four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro, Johnson was not on the injury report at all this week and has started all 10 games this season. He was expected to have an MRI prior to the game.

Should Johnson be unable to play, Jack Driscoll would be in line to start in his absence. Driscoll, 26, has played in 10 games this season and started 16 over his career. He has appeared in 47 games since the Eagles selected him in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Johnson, 33, has started all 137 games in which he has played with the Eagles since he was selected by the team as the fourth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Report: Eagles RT Driscoll (MCL) out for season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles rookie right tackle Jack Driscoll will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

Driscoll sustained a “significant MCL sprain” in Sunday’s upset win against the New Orleans Saints. He played through it and finished the 24-21 victory, but further testing revealed the full extent of the injury, per the report.

A fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Auburn, Driscoll started four of his 11 games and played a total of 300 snaps on offense and 34 on special teams this season.

Driscoll, 23, had been starting at right tackle since Philadelphia lost All-Pro Lane Johnson to a season-ending ankle injury last month.

Matt Pryor, who turns 26 on Wednesday, is listed behind Driscoll on the depth chart and is in line to start Sunday when the Eagles (4-8-1) face the Arizona Cardinals (7-6) in Glendale, Ariz.

Philadelphia’s offensive line has also endured season-ending injuries to tackle Jason Peters (foot), guard Brandon Brooks (Achilles) and tackle Andre Dillard (biceps). Brooks and Dillard missed the entire season.
