Brandon Johnson: Everything you need to know

The Eagles signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Monday. Johnson has seemingly recovered from the ankle injury that landed him on Philadelphia's practice squad injury list last week. The 22-year-old appeared in three games last season, logging three tackles (one solo) and a pass defended and will look to earn a spot on the active roster for the 2026 campaign.

The Eagles placed Johnson (ankle) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday. Johnson suffered an ankle issue during Philadelphia's regular-season finale against Washington in Week 18. His placement on the practice squad/injured list rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Across three regular-season appearances in 2025, Johnson made three tackles (one solo) and logged one pass defensed.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders. Johnson has been limited to special teams work this season but was getting some reps on defense Sunday due to the Eagles resting key starters ahead of the NFC playoffs. Mac McWilliams will see more snaps at the slot for as long as Johnson is out of the game, while Michael Carter moves to safety.
