The Philadelphia Eagles are just a few hours away from a clash with the Buffalo Bills, but there is a strong chance that they’ll now go into that game without the services of future HOF tackle, Lane Johnson.

Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter reported on Sunday afternoon that the veteran has been dealing with groin pain and is now questionable for today’s game.

The #Eagles have updated their practice report, and OT Lane Johnson is now questionable with a groin injury. One to watch.

Lane Johnson reported to trainers this morning that he woke up with soreness in his groin. He is receiving treatment this morning and an MRI has been scheduled. He participated in full practices all week and has not received any treatment until this morning. https://t.co/Iyrm1DBR6n

if Johnson is unable to go, we can expect versatile tackle, Jack Driscoll, to get the nod at right tackle.

This is a potentially game-changing absence. The Bills rank second this season when it comes to sacks and their defense will be hungry to keep momentum going after a big win against the Jets. We know that Buffalo’s D is among the best in the NFL, and Jack Driscoll being tasked with containing Greg Rousseau (4 sacks this season) would be an almighty challenge)

With that said, we’ve never been given a reason to doubt Stoutland University and I don’t think that will change here.

Hopefully, Lane Johnson can make a speedy recovery and will be back in action either today or for next week’s game against he Niners.
