Eagles Starting RT Lane Johnson Most Likely Out With Concussion

[Saca312]

Well, hate injuries, but the matchup advantage it brings will be interesting.

According to this article, Eagles are 8-2 with him in; 2-8 without.

Interesting.

I'll take any advantage we can get. Let Pep eat!

On a similar note, does anyone know what the word on Matt Kalil is?  I know he finished the game, but with the short week, it's concerning if he's banged up.

He's just chickening out after running his mouth in 2015 and them getting whooped.

In all seriousness, hope he's OK. Concussions are no joke.

I hope to see Lil Munny and Shaq blitzing effectively off that side all dam game

He's a great RT, will be a big loss for them.

 

They struggle running the ball anyway, and this won't help...expect to see at least 40 pass attempts from Carson.

On a short week this is a huge injury.  Turnovers tend to decide these Thursday night games, and with one of Philadelphia's tackles out, you gotta imagine that sets up nicely with how well our D-line has been playing.  Get in Wentz's face early and often and he will start making bad decisions.  The key is for the cam we've seen the past 2 weeks to show up, take care of the football and we'll walk out with a W on Thursday night.

Did they pull him because of the huge lead and no reason to risk it or was he actually diagnosed with a concussion?  If it's the latter, there is almost no chance he is cleared within 3 days to play.

 

If it was precautionary he will still likely be there.  DeVante Adams just played after that massive hit.

Pretty sure he's in the protocol.

He is and I don't think there is enough time for him to get cleared before Thursdays.

Agreed, and you would need to practice as well...that probably ain't happening.
