PHILADELPHIA– A key member of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line is set to miss time with injury.
T Lane Johnson suffered a grade 2 sprain of his MCL during Sunday’s win over the Jaguars in London.
The severity of the sprain means that Johnson actually partially tore his MCL.
While the Eagles will enjoy their bye week during the league’s next round of games, Johnson could still be out longer.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that Johnson could be out for a month:
Johnson, 28, is currently ranked as the tenth best tackle in the league, according to Pro Football Focus, and was an All-Pro in 2017.
In his stead, T Halapoulivaati Vaitai is expected to start.
