October 7, 20214 yr Author Quote Lane Johnson remains out of Eagles practice Posted by Josh Alper on October 7, 2021, 1:52 PM EDT Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson was an unexpected scratch for last Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs because of a personal matter and he’s yet to return to the field. According to multiple reports from Eagles practice, Johnson was not on the field for Thursday’s session. He was out on Wednesday as well, so it is starting to look like a pretty big stretch for him to be ready to go for Sunday’s game in Carolina. "He’s not here today, still dealing with a personal matter,” head coach Nick Sirianni said on Wednesday, via NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com. "Really to go any more further into that, still going to respect his privacy. But he is not here today.” Jordan Mailata is back at practice this week after missing two games with a knee injury. If he’s able to play, he could play in Johnson’s place on the right side while Andre Dillard remains at left tackle. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/10/07/lane-johnson-remains-out-of-eagles-practice/ If Mailata is a go, I'd put him back in at LT and play Driscoll at RT again. He held up pretty good there last weekend.

October 7, 20214 yr Dillard has played well all season long. Why does everyone still think he can't play the position he was drafted to play and instead want to put him on the bench? I agree though that Driscoll wasn't bad against the Chiefs.

I think Mailata > Dillard at LT and Driscoll > Dillard and probably Mailata at RT.

Glad that Dillard has not played badly at LT when Mailata was out. If Marilata can go this Sunday, we would find out how the coaches weigh Dillard's value on OL.

October 7, 20214 yr Plot twist: Lane Johnson is the baby's father and had to escape to Oklahoma. It's all connected!

October 8, 20214 yr Not sure if it's related but about 2 years ago Lane and his wife separated and somehow the kids were kept away from him. Nasty split up if i remember correctly. Seen the whole thing unfold on Instagram. Hope things are ok with him.

October 9, 20214 yr I hope Lane gets his personal matter sorted out soon, and hopefully it isn’t too serious.

If this is the case, that explained why the team is tight lips on the reason Lane is absent. Hope his matter, whatever it is, is settled soon.
October 10, 20214 yr This is the worse coaching job I have ever seen. That second down play if he hands it off they have a easy first plus 10 more yards
October 10, 20214 yr Author Said earlier they should have played Mailata at LT and Driscoll at RT. Thought that would be a stronger combo overall than Dillard at LT and moving Mailata over to RT. Super questionable decision making by all of these coaches.
