Nick Sirianni pulled no punches when discussing his feelings on Eagles backup

There are significant changes coming to the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line, with starting right tackle Lane Johnson not going to be in the picture for the time being.

Johnson is expected to miss four to six weeks after suffering a Lisfranc sprain in his foot during the 16-9 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 11. That has opened the door for Eagles fan favorite Fred Johnson to step up as the new starter at right tackle for what looks like the rest of the regular season.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spoke with the media, addressing his confidence in Fred Johnson filling in for Lane Johnson.
