PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles had just drafted defensive tackle Milton Williams in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft on Friday night when general manager Howie Roseman began making his way through the Eagles’ war room, fist-bumping anybody that would let him when he arrived at Tom Donahoe, the organization’s senior director of player personnel.
Donahoe gave a less than enthusiastic fist bump and looked very unhappy, saying something that the TV cameras, which were rolling, couldn’t quite pick up. Roseman opened his arms, palms up, to address whatever the issue.

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles have plenty of in-house options available at offensive tackle as they finally move away from the Jason Peters era and at least contemplate life after Lane Johnson, their three-time Pro Bowl right tackle who turns 31 in May and played just seven games in 2020 due to two ankle surgeries, the last of which was a more significant procedure.
Johnson recently told SI.com s Eagle Maven he expects to be completely cleared in about a month and is looking forward to any potential offseason work which is still up in the air as the NFL and the Players Association continue to haggle over COVID-19 precautions.
