Jalen Hurts was happy to see a familiar face return to the practice field on Wednesday, as Lane Johnson was a limited participant as the Eagles prepare for Sunday’s battle of the undefeated teams in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers.

Johnson exited Sunday’s win over the Rams after the first offensive drive due to a stinger.

“He’s a hell of a player,” quarterback Jalen Hurts said on Wednesday. “I was just talking about him and his routine. I know he’s applauded me for my routine, but his routine is very, very, very intentional. He’s very consistent. He’s very disciplined. And I think those habits show up in his game. He’s been able to do that and take the coaching and be able to grow and evolve and age in a different way than everyone else, so it’s a lot of credit to him.”

Matt Pryor initially replaced Johnson until Fred Johnson entered the game in the second half and the Eagles were able to score three touchdowns in their final four offensive drives to help overcome a 19-point third-quarter deficit in the come-from-behind victory.

“I wouldn’t be able to mention him (Lane Johnson) without mentioning Fred and the way he stepped in because that’s something he was able to do in the past,” Hurts added.

The Eagles will have to overcome some tough injuries. On Wednesday, the team placed cornerback Jakorian Bennett, wide receiver Darius Cooper, and outside linebacker Nolan Smith on Injured Reserve, meaning they will miss at least the next four games.

Furthermore, the team was without starting linebackers Zack Baun (knee) and Jihaad Campbell (triceps) at Wednesday’s practice, along with starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (groin).

Lane Johnson and quarterback Tanner McKee (right thumb) were both limited.

Running back Will Shipley was a full participant in practice for the first time since suffering an oblique injury in the season-opening win over the Cowboys.
