Lane Johnson’s Injury Scare Turns Out False in Eagles-Packers Clash

Philadelphia Eagles' two-time All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson suffered an apparent leg injury during Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles initially listed him as questionable to return.

Johnson was injured in the first half while blocking for Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Packers safety Evan Williams came down on Johnson's left leg, causing him to limp off the field. He was taken to the locker room by cart. Backup Fred Johnson replaced him at right tackle in the first series of the second half. However, it was later reported that Lane Johnson was not injured during the game against Green Bay, and Fred Johnson had replaced him without any details of an in-game injury.

Despite the initial concern, Lane Johnson did not suffer an injury during the Eagles' game against the Green Bay Packers. Fred Johnson stepped in as his replacement, ensuring the team's offensive line remained stable.
