The Eagles won’t have right tackle Lane Johnson for Sunday’s clash with the Rams, a setback that history warns is costly.
When Johnson lines up, Philadelphia boasts a 122‑63‑1 ledger, a 65.9% win rate.
Devoid of him, the club sits at 18‑29, translating to a 38.3% success margin.
Sal Paolantonio of ESPN notes coach Nick Sirianni didn’t learn of Johnson’s Sunday‑morning unavailability until the last hour.
Philadelphia chose not to promote lineman John Ojukwu; instead, Markel Bell steps in, leaving interior backs Willie Lampkin and Micah Morris as the sole Sunday reserves. For my money, the move leaves the line vulnerable.
