Eagles Promote Patrick Johnson
Johnson, a seventh-round draft pick in 2021, has made significant contributions to the team this season. He has participated in seven games, showcasing his skills with a record of one sack, two quarterback hits, and six pressures over 115 defensive snaps. Furthermore, he has been an asset on special teams.
Performance Highlights
- First career sack recorded in Week 6 against the Giants.
- Accumulated two QB hits and six QB pressures.
- Participated in special teams plays.
Last season, Johnson played in only one game, which was a season-opening victory against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. For Monday Night Football, he will join teammates Jalyx Hunt and Joshua Uche as the Eagles look to strengthen their outside linebacker position.
This strategic move demonstrates the Eagles’ commitment to boosting their defensive lineup as they head into this critical matchup.
