Eagles’ Lane Johnson, Reed Blakenship Avoid Major Injuries

The Philadelphia Eagles avoided two major injuries after Sunday’s win against the division rival New York Giants. Right tackle Lane Johnson is considered day-to-day with an abdominal injury and safety Reed Blakenship has a low-grade knee sprain. Neither are expected to reach IR.

The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the news via Twitter on Monday.

Blakenship was originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022. After being mostly a special teams commodity, he came into Week 12’s game against the Green Bay Packers after C.J. Gardner-Johnson went down due to injury. He grabbed his first NFL interception off of the hand of Aaron Rodgers in that game.

Johnson has been a huge part of the Eagles’ success and running game during their 12-1 start to the season. He’s considered one of the best tackles in the game (left or right), and hadn’t given up a single sack through 12 weeks.
