Eagles WR Smith, RT Johnson suffer concussions
Written by I Dig SportsNEW ORLEANS -- Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith and right tackle Lane Johnson both have been ruled out of the game against the Saints on Sunday with concussions.
Smith left early in the fourth after a big collision with defensive tackle Khristian Boyd. His momentum was going backward after being corralled by Saints defenders following a short completion, and then he was blindsided by Boyd.
Smith remained on the ground for several minutes, with teammates gathered around him and coach Nick Sirianni placing a hand on his knee before Smith eventually got up and walked off under his own power.
Johnson exited in the first half after being evaluated in the medical tent. He was replaced by Fred Johnson. Right guard Mekhi Becton (finger) and receiver/returner Britain Covey (shoulder) also exited the game.
