BREAKING: Jim Johnson Passes Away

Eagles logo If you haven't read by now, we just received word that former Eagles' Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson passed away this afternoon from cancer, just days after the team had named Sean McDermott as his successor while he fought his illness. Johnson was 68, and is survived by his wife, two children, and four grandchildren.

We'll be wearing our #20 dark green jersey for you tonight, Jim. Rest in peace.
