'He's a warrior.' Lane Johnson played through a painful injury on Saturday night and his teammates marveled at his toughness.
Johnson, 32, made his return in the Eagles’ 38-7 drubbing of the Giants in the divisional round of the playoffs. It was his first game action since suffering a torn adductor on Christmas Eve against the Cowboys.
“It means the world, man,” fellow offensive lineman Jordan Mailata said. “It means the world. Sacrificing his body for the boys. Just being selfless and getting out there as fast as he can. And then this week, when he was like, ‘I’m ready to go,’ I was like, ‘Crazy.’ He looked great in practice and he looked great tonight. He’s a machine.”
There’s no doubt that the Eagles’ offense is a completely different animal with a healthy Hurts and Johnson in the lineup, something the Eagles didn’t have down the stretch in the regular season. The Eagles on Saturday night rushed for an incredible 268 yards behind the strength of their star-studded offensive line. And the team surrendered just one sack all game.
