Eagles RT Johnson in concussion protocol

[Jeremy Igo]

Puts his playing Thursday night in serious doubt.

Lane Johnson is one of the best when on field. Big loss if out

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

The Eagles are good when Johnson plays and they are abysmal when he's out.

I wont wish ill health on a man, but fug is that huge if they arent fielding their star RT. 

[Steves89]

Hope he has a speedy recovery and is back in time for us to make him look foolish.

I saw a stat somewhere that the eagles have a ridiculously good record when he plays but drop off considerably when he's out. 

That is a big loss if he doesn't play.

Well, when he's been eligible, it's been good. In the six games he started opposite Peters last season — those two small-town Texas boys building a cradle around the quarterback — the Eagles were 5-1. Some of that was circumstance and opponent, of course, but those were the results, as was the 2-8 record when Johnson was sidelined for a positive test he claimed resulted from a tainted supplement.

Time for another multi-sack game by Pep.

I dont see anyway he can complete the protocol in three days, I think its better to rest him and take the 14 days to make sure he is completely healthy.

yay

If it was a Panthers player in the protocol, then no way...  but it seems like we actually follow it which is the right thing to do for the players' long team health.

Seems like the league's "independent protocol enforcement" goes out the window with certain teams, though. DaVonte Adams was hospitalized for the head shot he took and somehow cleared the protocol without missing a game.  But he plays for the Packers and they had a marquee game against the Cowboys... yeah I'm sure it was independent.

Anyway, doubt Lane Johnson plays and in the interest of his long-term health, no way he should play 4 days after a concussion.  Just pointing out league hypocrisy, which isn't hard to do.

he is a loss, no doubt...but that stat listing our w/l with him vs without him is more than a little little bogus.   as much coincidence as anything.
