There were already concerns about Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson and Brett Toth being banged up and questionable for the NFC Wild Card game against the San Francisco 49ers.
One of their statuses has been downgraded to out with Toth, who is no longer available due to his concussion. He suffered a concussion during the 24-17 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 18.
As for Johnson's status, while he is not officially good to go, all indications are that he will play against the 49ers. The Eagles will make that official call for Johnson when the inactive list comes out 90 minutes before kickoff.
Eagles lose one offensive lineman for the 49ers game
Toth has started four games this season for the Eagles and has helped the offensive line out with the injuries they have dealt with. He has stepped in for Cam Jurgens at center and Landon Dickerson at left guard during the season.
Losing Toth is tough for the offensive line's depth, as he has been a key piece, along with Fred Johnson, helping the line throughout the year. The hope is that he will be back on the roster if the team can continue its playoff run.
While it may not be connected to Lane Johnson's status for the Wild Card game, it's more encouraging that he is going to play in the contest. Johnson has practiced on a limited basis all week and is still listed as questionable.
The Eagles would have been happy to have Lane Johnson back in there after the first 10 games, seeing him not allowed a quarterback hit or sack in 262 pass blocking snaps. That kind of production can't be replicated on the team.
