Eagles T Lane Johnson listed as ‘Inactive’ for Week 1 vs. Washington

A bit of surprising news came out on Sunday morning as the inactive lists were released in Washington, where the Philadelphia Eagles announced that T Lane Johnson would not suit up for the game.

This was a known possibility going into the weekend, but a report on Saturday night showed that Johnson was going to try and play through his injury.

Now, with Johnson inactive, this gives a major boost to the Washington defensive line, where a formidable group of former first-round picks will likely be able to have their way with a banged up and pieced together offensive line. It will be interesting to watch how both rookie Chase Young and second-year DE Montez Sweat capitalize on the situation.
