Philadelphia Eagles released their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers.
Eagles starting right tackle Lane Johnson is OUT, as expected. Johnson suffered a concussion on Sunday and still hasn’t passed through the mandatory concussion protocol. Halapoulivaati Vaitai will take over in his place.
Now, this is obviously a big loss for Philly. The Eagles are 9-2 in their last 11 games when Johnson has played. They are 2-8 in the last 10 games he’s missed.
In my opinion, Johnson’s injury is exactly why Thursday Night Football sucks, by the way.
