The Philadelphia Eagles were caught off guard when their standout offensive lineman went down. Yes, you heard that right. Lane Johnson has been declared injured and will not continue to play in the game against the Saints. The man had a hard tackle and was unable to rise up and continue. Right now, the speculations are that the OT suffered from a concussion and the medical team is examining him. Also, Lane Johnson cannot stop vomiting, which does not look good.

The Eagles found themselves in serious jeopardy, but the fans may thank God that they had a backup plan in place. The team prepped Fred Johnson, who stepped in as a replacement, and the experienced OT will tremendously benefit the team and may aid in increasing defensive strength. On the other hand, the Saints will hunt for creative methods to penetrate this defense in order to stand tall. The game’s momentum is currently dead equal, and it will be interesting to see who can emerge victorious despite the odds.

According to recent reports, there is bad news for supporters of both teams. Joey Bosa, the Saints’ linebacker who suffered a hip injury, along with Lane Johnson, is out for the day. Yes, you read it accurately. There is no particular health report on both of them, but it is apparent that their current situation is dire.

Lane Johnson’s effect on the team was critical since we all know how dominant he is on the field. Anyone would be afraid to stand in front of a player who is 6’6″ and weighs 315 pounds. So far this season, the guy has saved two goals for his team, which is vital. Eagles supporters should hope right now that this concussion does not have a serious consequence. But if it becomes something serious, is Fred Johnson capable of taking Lane’s place?

Can Fred Johnson make everyone forget Lane Johnson’s absence?

Do you want a quick answer to this question? Then it would most probably be a no. Don’t get offended, but if we look at the stats, Fred Johnson has yet to prove himself on the big stage. He has not had a substantial impact on the outcome of any game, and while he possesses some excellent skills, his execution is still lacking.

The supporters will be anxious about this, yet there is optimism that positive things will happen for the Eagles. There is no guarantee that they will use Fred Johnson going forward. Right now, the fans can only hope that the medical results of the injured OT arrive as soon as possible with good news.

Until then, what are your opinions on the situation? Do you believe this is an opportunity for Fred Johnson to show himself in the game?
