Johnson suffered a head injury in the first half against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. After being evaluated in the locker room at halftime, it was determined that he had a concussion, per Pederson, who acknowledged it would be "tough" for Johnson to clear protocol in time for the Panthers game.

"I'll find out more this afternoon," he said, "but it's hard."

Preparations for the Panthers will begin with second-year player Halapoulivaati Vaitai manning the right tackle spot. Vaitai, the former fifth-round pick out of TCU, had his share of struggles while filling in during Johnson's 10-game suspension last year but has shown signs of progress. He took over for Johnson in the second half of the Eagles' 34-7 victory over Arizona and held his own.
