The Eagles are taking over for an NFC East opponent at the Pro Bowl again.
After Malcolm Jenkins took over for Giants safety Landon Collins last week, Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson has been selected to attend the Pro Bowl in place of Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith.
Congratulations to @LaneJohnson65, named to the 2019 Pro Bowl! #FlyEaglesFly

Johnson struggles early in the season with a high ankle sprain and did not seem like the dominant tackle he was in 2017. Following an MCL tear mid-season, Johnson missed just one game and then returned and seemed to have regained his form. In the second half of the season, he was one of the best offensive linemen in the league.
Johnson and fellow tackle Jason Peters were able to hold JJ Watt, Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald to just three quarterback hits in the three games leading up to the match-up with the Saints in the divisional round.
Johnson will join Malcolm Jenkins and Zach Ertz at the Pro Bowl this weekend.
