UK_EaglesFan89 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I'd be for Johnson being promoted and playing on Sunday. I think he's decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Initially I was thinking they'd need him due to lack of depth (thinking Sanders and Howard would both be out). But have heard Howard is good to go so we shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know Johnson can play in the NFL and if required at short notice he'd be a better option than Huntley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
