Versatile Guard and Tackle Player Aware of His Possible Cut, Fights to Play in Eagles vs Packers Game to Prove Himself to Coach Nick Sirianni

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – October 11, 2025

As the crucial game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers looms at Lambeau Field tonight, Fred Johnson, a versatile player capable of playing both Guard and Tackle, is facing a tough reality. He knows he’s on the verge of being cut, but instead of succumbing to the pressure, Johnson has decided to use this very game as an opportunity to prove he deserves to stay on the roster.

Known for his flexibility to play multiple positions on the offensive line, Johnson has shown he can contribute as both a Guard and a Tackle. However, with a deep roster and several other key players vying for spots, Johnson understands he can’t just sit back and wait. So, he made a bold move – after the final practice before the Packers matchup, Johnson went straight to Head Coach Nick Sirianni to show his determination.

"After practice, Fred came to see me," Sirianni shared. "He told me he wanted to play in this game. He said this was his chance to prove he deserved to be part of this team. Fred didn’t just want to play for himself; he wanted to protect Jalen Hurts and help us get a critical win in this game."

Sirianni, who values the fighting spirit and determination of his players, couldn’t help but be impressed by Johnson’s attitude. While aware of the tough competition for roster spots, he recognized this as a moment for Johnson to show what he could bring to the table.

"Fred is a great player, and I’ve always believed in his ability. He came to me not just asking for an opportunity, but to say, ‘I’m ready to fight for this team.’ That’s the mentality we need in every game, especially a big one like this.”

The fear of being cut didn’t diminish Fred Johnson’s determination. If anything, it fueled him to step up and show that he still has value, that he belongs on this team.

Tonight’s game will be his opportunity to not only protect Jalen Hurts but also to protect his career. Whether he faces stars like Kenny Clark of the Packers or not, he is determined to give it his all, not just for himself, but for the team and everyone who has believed in him from the start.

Fred Johnson steps into this game with a fierce resolve, carrying the hope that sometimes, the toughest games are the biggest opportunities to prove yourself.
