Philadelphia Eagles star tackle Lane Johnson is out for the Week 12 showdown against the Buffalo Bills because of a groin injury. Johnson was  previously downgraded to questionable and is now officially inactive.

Johnson was a surprising add to the injury report for the Eagles, as he practiced all week and had not received any treatment for a groin injury prior to Sunday morning, according to Ian Rapoport.

Lane Johnson's groin injury

The Eagles are wisely treating Johnson's sore groin very seriously by giving him an MRI to make sure that it's simply soreness and not any sort of tear. Johnson is a critical part of the Eagles offense and is widely considered to be one of the best right tackles in all of football.

Johnson has played in all 10 games for the Eagles this season, but has dealt with injuries in the past. Johnson missed two games last year and four in 2021, so this injury will be something to monitor moving forward. Johnson is a four-time Pro Bowl tackle and two-time All-Pro, and if it weren't for his durability issues, would likely be named to both of those teams every single season.

Johnson is currently ranked 9th out of 81 eligible tackles this season, according to Pro Football Focus.

The Eagles will host the Bills at 4:25 p.m. ET in the late afternoon slate. This should be one of the best games of the week, but Philly will look to move to 10-1 on the season without Lane Johnson blocking for Jalen Hurts.
