Johnson (foot) is participating in Philadelphia's minicamp, Jeff McLane of the Inquirer reports. Johnson missed the last eight games of the 2025 campaign (including playoffs) with a Lisfranc injury but is now healthy again. The 36-year-old will once again serve as the Eagles' starting right tackle during the upcoming season.
Johnson (foot) said Thursday that he'll play for the Eagles in 2026, opting against retirement, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Johnson will turn 36 in May after missing the final eight games of the 2025 campaign due to a Lisfranc injury. It's unclear if he had surgery, with Thursday's report merely noting that he's continuing his rehab and working to get back to full strength. The future Hall of Famer is under contract through 2027 with the only NFL team he's ever known, ranking among the elite at his position for more than a decade. Even if he declines some after the foot injury, Johnson's decision to keep playing is probably good news for the fantasy value of QB Jalen Hurts and RB Saquon Barkley.
Johnson (foot) is listed as inactive for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the 49ers. Johnson had been trending toward a return after missing seven straight games with a foot injury. The two-time All-Pro is a significant piece of the Eagles' rushing offense, so his absence could be pivotal for Sunday's contest. In Johnson's stead, Fred Johnson will continue to start at right tackle for Philadelphia, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic.
