EaglesLane Johnson Diagnosed With Lisfranc Sprain, Expected to Miss 4–6 Weeks

Reports point to a multiweek recovery with an injured-reserve stint likely pending further evaluation.

Overview

  • Lanes Johnson left the Week 11 win over the Lions in the first quarter, was evaluated in the medical tent, and was downgraded to out after initially being listed as questionable.
  • Multiple outlets report a Lisfranc sprain in his foot with a projected 4–6 week absence that is not expected to be season-ending.
  • Reports indicate the Eagles are likely to place him on injured reserve, which would require a minimum four-game absence as he seeks additional opinions and testing.
  • Fred Johnson replaced him at right tackle against Detroit and is expected to handle the role while Lane Johnson recovers.
  • The injury adds to a season of offensive line setbacks for Philadelphia, with Johnson previously dealing with neck, shoulder, and ankle issues and center Cam Jurgens exiting the Lions game as well.
