The Philadelphia Eagles hope to move to 3-0 in Week 3 but some bad news arrived early on in the game, as right tackle Lane Johnson exited with what was revealed to be a neck injury. Anytime a player has any kind of injury, we're always going to monitor it but especially with a player as important to this team as Johnson is.
Mike Garafolo reported that Johnson was "questionable to return" and mentioned that the Eagles right tackle had "been in the medical tent for a while". Meanwhile, backup Matt Pryor continued to fill in for the injured Johnson.
#Eagles RT Lane Johnson (neck) questionable to return. He’s been in the medical tent for a while. Still there. Matt Pryor is in.

Jeff McLane later reported that Johnson was sitting on the bench with his team, which is good news. Pryor was still in on the ensuing drive, however, and the results definitely weren't positive. Johnson is a tough player to fill in for given how important he is to the Eagles offensive line.
Lane Johnson exits Eagles game with neck injury, questionable to return
Hopefully Johnson is able to return to help this Eagles o-line out the way fans know he can. He's one of the most important players on this team and it's definitely noticeable when he's out of the game.
Until he's officially back, however, Pryor will continue to fill in and be the right tackle.
