The Philadelphia Eagles' playoff hopes took a hit as they announced their inactive list for the Wild Card game against the San Francisco 49ers. Lane Johnson, the starting right tackle, is OUT, despite previous reports suggesting he would play. This is a significant blow to the Eagles' offensive line, as Johnson is a much better player than his replacement, Fred Johnson. The 49ers, on the other hand, have the worst pass rush in the NFL, which could be a silver lining for the Eagles. But here's where it gets controversial... the Eagles' decision to keep Lane Johnson on the inactive list may be a strategic move, as the 49ers' pass rush is not their strongest suit. However, some fans argue that Johnson's absence will be detrimental to the team's performance. The Eagles' inactives list also includes Brett Toth, Jakorian Bennett, Joshua Uche, Ty Robinson, A.J. Dillon, and Sam Howell. Toth's absence is due to a concussion, while Bennett is a healthy scratch for the first time this season. Uche, Robinson, and Dillon are also inactive, with the Eagles opting for a different strategy. The 49ers' inactive list features some notable names, including starting left tackle Trent Williams, who is ACTIVE despite being ruled questionable. The game promises to be an intriguing contest, with both teams having their fair share of surprises. So, who do you think will come out on top?
