What happened to Lane Johnson?

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles ruled out Lane Johnson due to a head injury. It was an unfavorable situation for the seasoned right tackle who was unable to return to the game.

The Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Dallas Cowboys for Sunday Night Football. While the Eagles' offense scored 20 points in the second quarter, Lane Johnson wound up in the blue medical tent prior to entering the dressing room. His injury took place during the last attack effort before halftime.

With the second quarter of the Sunday Night Football match coming to an end, the Pro Bowl right tackle was compelled to withdraw. First, Johnson went in prematurely after spending a short moment in the medical tent. Then, early in the third quarter, he was declared injured.

The Eagles replaced Johnson with Jack Driscoll. Jordan Mailata might have been moved to the right side, and Andre Dillard could have been used as the left tackle, but Jeff Stoutland decided against arranging the pieces that way.

Interestingly, Johnson was the lone starter from the Eagles' offensive line who did not appear on the list of injured players last week. In addition to Landon Dickerson, Jason Kelce, and Isaac Seumalo, Mailata has been suffering from a shoulder issue.

Johnson will have two weeks to comply with the NFL concussion procedure before the Week 8 game against the Steelers because the Eagles have their bye week in Week 7.

On Sunday, the Eagles offensive line was outstanding in the first half, creating openings for Miles Sanders and effectively controlling one of the league's top defenses.

Johnson, the premier right tackle, hasn't given up a sack in nearly two years and hasn't allowed a QB hit since 2021.

This is especially true given what they do for their livelihood and how they can occasionally seem untouchable to the average fan.
