Lane Johnson: Everything you need to know

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.

Johnson (foot) is trending toward returning for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The 35-year-old offensive tackle has been sidelined for the Eagles' last seven games due to a foot injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's officially listed as questionable for the wild-card round. If Johnson returns as expected Sunday, he'll likely operate as Philadelphia's top right tackle.
