**Lane Johnson and Key Eagles Players Out for Sunday’s Game Against the Buccaneers**
The Philadelphia Eagles have been dealt a significant blow as they prepare for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Right tackle Lane Johnson has not cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will miss the upcoming matchup. Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer broke the news, reporting that the seasoned offensive lineman’s status remains unchanged, ruling him out of action.
Fred Johnson will step in to replace Lane Johnson, who was injured during last Sunday’s victorious game against the New Orleans Saints. This shift adds pressure on Fred as he fills the shoes of the veteran tackle in what promises to be a challenging game against a formidable Tampa defense.
The Eagles' woes don’t end there. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith is also sidelined with a concussion, compounding the team’s injury concerns. Adding to the offensive depletion, wide receiver A.J. Brown was downgraded to out on Saturday due to a hamstring injury, leaving the Eagles with a thinner lineup to face the Buccaneers.
Additionally, linebacker Devin White will not participate in Sunday’s game for personal reasons, further tightening the team’s roster. The Eagles have confirmed these developments as of 10:08 a.m. ET, cementing the absence of several pivotal players as they brace for Sunday’s critical game.
