Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson sustained an abdominal injury that is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the regular season, a league source confirmed to The Inquirer on Monday morning.
Johnson, 32, was injured during the fourth quarter of the team’s 40-34 loss to the Cowboys on Saturday. He was replaced by reserve offensive lineman Jack Driscoll. Following Saturday’s game, Johnson was spotted leaving the visitors’ locker room sporting a medical bandage around his waist/groin area. Further tests revealed Johnson had torn a tendon in his abdominal area.
The Eagles are hopeful that Johnson will return for the postseason, although that could depend on how his body responds to treatment over the next several weeks, a league source said.
