Doug Pederson Confirms Eagles OL Lane Johnson is in Concussion Protocol
If Sunday's gut-wrenching loss to the Patriots wasn't enough heartbreak for Eagles fans, we've got more bad news for you.
Offensive lineman Lane Johnson, who was forced out of the game against New England, is officially in the concussion protocol.
Doug said Lane Johnson in concussion protocol. Eagles aren't sure when he got hurt but was at some point on the TD drive.

Said Dillard will get reps this week at right tackle.
Johnson was carted off the field in the second quarter Sunday with an apparent head injury. The All-Pro lineman was seen with a towel over his head, looking down in a disoriented manner.
Lane Johnson has a concussion but I hear there is hope he can play next week against the Seahawks

It takes a lot to keep this man out of a game. Concussion protocol is one of the few things that will keep him out#Eagles pic.twitter.com/dX3w11fpzj
The Eagles have had a very inconsistent season, to say the least. They've had some impressive victories against teams like the Bills and Packers, but also some rough losses to the many teams, including the Cowboys and Falcons.
#Eagles are now 5-5 following that ugly loss. Offense remains an issue and hard to see what will change next week vs. Seattle: https://t.co/dIKmkrpgLB

Philly will play the Seahawks next Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, and will need to put together a strong effort to take down Russell Wilson and Co.
If Johnson were to miss this one, it'd be a big blow for the offensive line, no doubt about that.
