Eagles News: Lane Johnson says he'll have guard help for the first time in his career

Lane Johnson says he will have guard help for the first time in his 13-year NFL career, reflecting Philadelphia’s evolution under new offensive line coach Chris Kuper. Johnson credited Kuper’s extensive playing and coaching background and expressed respect for him as both coach and player. The veteran tackle has rarely had interior assistance, making inside help a potential game-changer for the unit. Through the offseason program, Johnson has worked remotely via Zoom, and he expects the new scheme to unlock the run game and reduce stagnation from last year. He also discussed Hurts’ minicamp performance, noting some rough moments on throws.
