It's Official: Johnson Starts At Left Tackle

Left tackle Jason Peters suffered a back injury against the Panthers in Week 7 and will miss Sunday’s game. In his place, right tackle Lane Johnson will switch to the left side, Dennis Kelly will play right tackle, and Matt Tobin will be inserted at right guard. The team will also be without rookie wideout Nelson Agholor (ankle), who has yet to suit up since Week 5. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans (hamstring) is also inactive, along with four healthy scratches – quarterback Thad Lewis, defensive end Brandon Bair, linebacker Brad Jones, and defensive back Denzel Rice.
