Eagles RT Lane Johnson returning for 2026 season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is returning for his 14th NFL season.

Johnson, 35, told the Philadelphia Inquirer of his intentions on Thursday. The two-time first-team All-Pro reportedly was mulling retirement following a 2025 season that saw him sit out the final seven games of the regular season and the team’s NFC wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers due to a Lisfranc injury.

Johnson, on Thursday, took to social media to post a picture of himself running on the field in an Eagles uniform.

Johnson is returning to a Philadelphia offense that is in the midst of transition with the departure of offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, pass game coordinator Josh Grizzard and run game coordinator Ryan Mahaffey are new faces on Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff.

The 2025 season was a painful one for the two-time Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowl selection. He previously dealt with neck, shoulder and ankle injuries but started all 10 games in which he played.

Johnson has started 168 regular-season games and 15 playoff contests since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson ruled out vs. 49ers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Despite making progress this week after dealing with a foot injury, Philadelphia Eagles starting right tackle Lane Johnson was ruled out of Sunday’s wild-card round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The six-time Pro Bowl selection, who missed the Eagles’ last seven games with a Lisfranc injury, returned to practice Wednesday.

Fred Johnson, 28, has played in place of Lane Johnson over the last seven games.

Lane Johnson, 35, last suited up for a game on Nov. 16, however he played only 14 snaps before being ruled out against the Detroit Lions.

It has been a painful year for the two-time Super Bowl champion and two-time first-team All-Pro, who is in his 13th season with Philadelphia. He previously dealt with neck, shoulder and ankle injuries but has started 10 games for the Eagles.

Lane Johnson has started 168 regular-season games and 15 playoff contests since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.

The Eagles’ other inactives are offensive lineman Brett Toth (concussion), linebacker Joshua Uche, cornerback Jakorian Bennett, running back A.J. Dillon and defensive tackle Ty Robinson.

The Eagles (11-6) face the 49ers (12-5) knowing that a victory would secure a road game in the divisional round against the Chicago Bears.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson (foot) returns to practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles star right tackle Lane Johnson returned to practice on Wednesday.

It’s a positive sign considering the six-time Pro Bowl selection has missed the Eagles’ last seven games with a Lisfranc injury.

The Eagles (11-6) would love nothing more than having Johnson return to the lineup on Sunday against the visiting San Francisco 49ers (12-5) in an NFC wild-card game.

“Obviously, Lane’s a big difference maker,” Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni said. “I know he’s working like crazy to get himself back. We’ll see where that is this week. But he’s a difference-maker. He’s one of the best who’s ever done it.”

Eagles’ Jalen Carter, Lane Johnson, Commanders’ Laremy Tunsil out for Saturday

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles ruled out defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (foot) on Thursday for Saturday’s road game against the Washington Commanders after they did not practice all week.

The Commanders ruled out five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil because of a strained oblique.

Carter, 24, has 32 tackles, two sacks and 11 quarterback hits in 10 games (all starts) in his third season with Philadelphia, which selected him ninth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Johnson, 35, has not played since the 16-9 home win over the Detroit Lions on Nov. 16. He has started all 10 of the games he has played. The six-time Pro Bowl selection was first-team All-Pro in 2017 and 2022. The Eagles picked him fourth overall in the 2013 draft.

Philadelphia star running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) was a full participant for a second consecutive day on Thursday. He was categorized as a non-participant on Tuesday, which was an estimation because the Eagles only held a walkthrough.

Philadelphia listed in Thursday’s injury report that tight end Cameron Latu (stinger) and offensive tackle Cameron Williams (shoulder) were full participants but questionable for the game. The Eagles opened the practice window for Williams, who is on injured reserve, on Dec. 11.

Washington already has ruled out quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow) for the rest of the season. Daniels won’t go on IR and practiced in limited fashion all week.

Tunsil, who was limited on Wednesday, did not practice on Thursday and was ruled out, as were defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (concussion) and tight end Colson Yankoff (ankle).

“(Tunsil) tried to go at practice yesterday, and he’s just not there yet,” Commanders coach Dan Quinn said on Thursday. “We’ll hopefully get him back for the final game, but not for this one.”

Tunsil, 31, has started all 14 games in his first season with the Commanders after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Houston Texans. He has played on 90% of the offensive snaps. He twice left last Sunday’s home win over the New York Giants because of injuries.

Cornerback Jonathan Jones (rib), a full participant on Wednesday, did not practice on Thursday and is questionable for Saturday, as is defensive tackle Jer’Zhan Newton (illness).

Reports: Eagles RT Lane Johnson (foot) heading to IR

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is going on injured reserve with a Lisfranc sprain in his foot, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The injury could sideline the six-time Pro Bowl selection for four to six weeks, per NFL Network.

The IR move means he would miss at least the next four games: Week 12 at Dallas, Week 13 vs. Chicago, Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers and Week 15 vs. Las Vegas.

Johnson, 35, started Sunday night’s 16-9 win against the Detroit Lions but played only 14 snaps before being ruled out for the game.

It has been a painful year for the two-time Super Bowl champion and two-time first-team All-Pro, who is in his 13th season with Philadelphia. He previously dealt with neck, shoulder and ankle injuries but has started all 10 games for the NFC East-leading Eagles (8-2).

Fred Johnson, 28, has played well in Lane Johnson’s absences this season and will likely be in the starting lineup for Sunday’s visit with the rival Cowboys.

Lane Johnson has started 168 regular-season games and 15 playoff contests since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson (neck) injured vs. Rams

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson left Sunday’s game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams with a neck injury in the first quarter.

The Eagles said the six-time Pro Bowler was questionable to return. Matt Pryor replaced Johnson in the game.

Multiple reports said Johnson sustained the injury while blocking on Jalen Hurts’ 1-yard “tush push” touchdown that gave Philadelphia a 7-0 lead with 8:07 left in the first quarter.

Johnson, 35, is a two-time first-team All-Pro and two-time Super Bowl champion. Sunday marked his 161st career start since the Eagles drafted him fourth overall in 2013.

Eagles extend, enrich standout RT Lane Johnson

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles and six-time Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson agreed to a one-year contract extension on Monday, keeping him in the fold for the Super Bowl champs through the 2027 season.

Johnson, a 12-year veteran, all with Philadelphia, is having a total of $8 million added for the next two seasons, plus an extra $30 million guaranteed. That brings his compensation for 2025-26 to $48 million, with $40 million assured.

Johnson, who turns 35 in May, will earn $25 million in 2027. He has been an All-Pro first- or second-team selection four times, including each of the past three seasons, and has been a starter in all 158 of his games with the Eagles.

Johnson did not surrender a sack last season, and gave up just one quarterback hit and six pressures. Those numbers are especially significant given that he led the NFL with a so-called “island rate” of 75 percent. That statistic counts the amount of snaps a lineman is left one-on-one with a defensive lineman on quarterback drop-backs.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson: ‘definitely not retiring’ after Super Bowl

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles standout right tackle Lane Johnson made it clear Saturday that Super Bowl LIX will not be his final game.

The 34-year-old Johnson is all in when it comes to playing in his 13th NFL season in 2025.

“I’m definitely not retiring after this game, win or lose,” Johnson said of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9. “I’m definitely playing next year. That’s really how you take it, I guess, when you get up in age, is take it one year at a time.

“But physically, I feel a lot better than I have the past, probably, couple years. I feel really good. For being this late in the year, it’s usually not like that. I’m thankful. We’ve got a good team here to help us with all that.”

Johnson was named a second-team All-Pro and chosen for his sixth Pro Bowl this season after being part of a standout line that helped running back Saquon Barkley top 2,000 rushing yards.

Johnson has twice been selected first-team All-Pro and this was his third second-team honor. Also, he will be a Pro Football Hall of Fame candidate five years after he retires.

In the short term, Johnson is all about delivering some payback to the Chiefs. Philadelphia lost 38-35 to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII two seasons ago.

“We didn’t finish what we started a couple years ago,” Johnson said. “We have a big chance to go play well and do something special. That’s on our mind, but, really for me, I don’t try to get caught up in the emotions of it. I just see it as something in the way and we’ve got to find a way to get it out of our way.”

Johnson does own one Super Bowl ring, that coming when the Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII to end the 2017 season.

A.J. Brown, Lane Johnson set to return for Eagles

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles are set for the return of standout wide receiver A.J. Brown and stalwart right tackle Lane Johnson coming out of their bye week and heading into Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

DeVonta Smith is also likely to return but hadn’t cleared the concussion protocol as of Wednesday, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Brown has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury. Johnson and Smith both suffered concussions in the Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints. Johnson said Wednesday he cleared the protocol.

All 52 players on the Eagles’ active roster practiced Wednesday, per the report.

Brown had five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil.

Smith has 21 catches for 239 yards and a touchdown in his three starts.

The Eagles (2-2) host the scuffling Browns (1-4), who have lost three straight.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson (concussion) out vs. Bucs

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles veteran right tackle Lane Johnson did not clear concussion protocol in time and will not play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Johnson left the Week 3 win over the New Orleans with the concussion, but he returned to practice on Thursday in hopes of playing and was a limited participant on Friday. He was listed as questionable for the game.

The Eagles selected Johnson with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft. Since then, they are 97-59-1 in games he has played (including playoffs), and 14-23 without him.

Johnson, 34, is a two-time first-team All-Pro and a five-time Pro Bowl selection.

The Eagles and Buccaneers enter the game in Tampa, Fla., with 2-1 records.
