time2rock Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Johnson gives update about his abdomen injury EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Eagles crushed the Giants 48-22 on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium but they didn’t come out of the game unscathed. The Eagles suffered a few injuries on their way to a 12-1 record but it appears that star right tackle Lane Johnson avoided a major one. Johnson, 32, left the second half with an abdomen injury and did not return. But speaking to reporters in the locker room after the game, said he could have re-entered the game if he needed to. The Eagles listed Johnson as questionable to return but he spent the rest of the game on the sideline. "Something just tweaked in my lower right ab, like my oblique area,” Johnson said. "So probably just a strain.” While Johnson didn’t seem too concerned, he did add that he’ll find out more about the nature of the injury when he gets additional testing on Monday. In his place, backup guard/tackle Jack Driscoll filled in. But the Eagles pretty much emptied the bench late in the blowout anyway. In addition to Johnson, the Eagles suffered several other injuries on Sunday afternoon. Safety Reed Blankenship (knee), LB Kyron Johnson (shoulder) and P Arryn Siposs (ankle) were all ruled out during the game. Siposs was seen with a walking boot and crutches in the postgame locker room. Without Siposs, receiver Britain Covey handled field goal holding responsibilities and kicker Jake Elliott was the punter. Elliott’s one punt went 35 yards and Covey’s holds all went well. There were no further updates on the other injured Eagles. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-injury-update-lane-johnson-abdomen-injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think Lane will be OK. Sounds like he could have carried on if he had needed to. Pulling him was the right call because we didn't need him but I think he'll be good to go by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If need be, we should be able to beat Chicago without Lane so that he's 100% for the Dallas game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of Driscoll going up against Parsons is frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 This is probably the biggest story. LJ is the heart and soul of this team. The Eagles need a healthy, effective Johnson to advance far in the playoffs On 12/12/2022 at 10:45 AM, EaglesAddict said: Nah, Driscoll at RT would suffice (that's what they'd do anyway) Bears have a bad record but they do have a good enough defense.
