Early indications are that Johnson suffered a high ankle sprain in the first quarter of the Eagles’ 20-14 loss to the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the source said. An MRI exam on Monday will provide the team with more information. Johnson has dealt with injuries before, the most significant to his left ankle. The injury was at first a high ankle sprain, but he returned before he was fully recovered in 2018. It then became a nagging problem that eventually forced him to undergo season-ending surgery in 2020. Jack Driscoll stepped in for Johnson at right tackle and he struggled to protect quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Eagles have been a decidedly different team with the All-Pro compared to when he is out. They are 84-48-1 in games in which Johnson has played and 13-22 when he has been sidelined.
October 16, 20231 yr They need Lane. They also need to make a priority pick to get the heir apparent at RT.
October 16, 20231 yr PPF had Driscoll allowing 8 pressures on 43 passes. Giants OT Neal has work average in the league at 4.83 per game, so Driscoll should not be at RT again. I might move Mailata to RT and put Steen at LT if Steen can't play RT should Johnson be out
