Eagles’ Lane Johnson Likely Out for Week 15 as Backup Fred Johnson Hurts Ankle; Jalen Carter Expected to Sit

Practice listings point to a thin right tackle depth chart against a Raiders front anchored by Maxx Crosby.

Overview

  • Johnson missed consecutive practices Wednesday and Thursday, signaling he is on track to miss the Raiders game after a Week 11 Lisfranc sprain.
  • Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who recently had procedures on both shoulders, missed Monday’s game and is expected to miss Sunday as well.
  • Primary backup Fred Johnson was added to the report as limited with an ankle injury, raising the possibility of turning to third-stringer Matt Pryor at right tackle if needed.
  • Landon Dickerson was downgraded to DNP on Thursday with “rest” added after a limited Wednesday and is expected to be available, per team reporting.
  • Raiders QB Geno Smith did not practice again and Kenny Pickett is expected to start, while Crosby returned to limited work after a DNP and remains a focal point of the Eagles’ protection plan.
