Lane Johnson Welcomes Jaelan Phillips to Eagles, Recalls Tough Matchup

Eagles tackle Lane Johnson expressed his excitement about the team's acquisition of edge rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins. Johnson vividly recalled a "good battle" against Phillips in Week 7 of the 2023 season, where Phillips notably recorded 1 sack, 2 QB hits, and 4 pressures, primarily while matched up against Johnson. He praised Phillips as a "great pass rusher," highlighting his 6-6, 265-pound frame and length, believing his "best years are yet to come." Johnson is "super excited" to have Phillips on the Eagles' side, noting his potential to be a "game-wrecker" and his familiarity with Vic Fangio’s defensive scheme.
