Lane Johnson still faces an uncertain future regarding the 10-game suspension he reportedly will serve for violating the NFL's banned substance policy a second time.
Through two weeks of the season, Johnson has started at right tackle for the Eagles. According to Johnson, that status isn't expected to change next week vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.

If the Eagles do hear any news regarding Johnson's suspension, it likely won't be presented until the team's bye week in Week 4. Philadelphia will continue to start Johnson at right tackle until a decision is announced.

Johnson has been a standout on a susceptible offensive line for the Eagles. In Monday's 29-14 win over the Chicago Bears, Johnson earned a grade of 82.3 (out of 100) by Pro Football Focus. He was the second highest graded offensive player on the Eagles and one of the top graded right tackles in the NFL for Week 2.
