Kerryon Johnson Believes Knee Problems are Behind Him
The recent waiver-wire pickup is intent on proving the Eagles made the right decision by claiming him.

PHILADELPHIA - The waiver wire typically isn t the best way to add talent in-season. In May it s even less likely, but the Eagles may have gotten a contributor last week when they were awarded running back Kerryon Johnson off waivers from Detroit.
Once a second-round pick of the Lions in the 2018 NFL draft, a balky knee, and an influx of talent in the backfield over the past two years in Detroit made Johnson expendable. The Eagles, in need of a capable third-down back as a complement to Miles Sanders, were happy to take a flyer on Johnson.
