The Philadelphia Eagles may or may not be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson for the second straight week when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

Johnson, who woke up Sunday morning with soreness in his groin, was a surprising last-minute addition to the Eagles' injury report ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Johnson attempted to warm up to take on the Bills but he was ultimately ruled out for safety precautions.

According to the latest report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Eagles are not ruling out Johnson for next Sunday, however, he is considered "day-to-day" as they prepare to face the 49ers.

#Eagles Pro Bowl OT Lane Johnson is considered day-to-day after the MRI on his groin on Sunday, sources say, and he has not been ruled out for Philly’s showdown with the #49ers. Johnson practiced fully last week, was not on the injury report, but reported soreness Sunday morning.

In Johnson's absence, the Birds leaned on backup Jack Driscoll against Buffalo and after a solid performance from him, they'll continue to do so if Johnson isn't available vs. San Francisco.
