Eagles RT Lane Johnson Ruled Out vs. Lions With Foot Injury

The 35-year-old All-Pro has battled multiple ailments this season, testing Philadelphia’s depth.

Overview

  • Johnson exited in the first quarter after a brief evaluation in the blue medical tent and a walk to the locker room with trainers.
  • The team initially listed him as questionable to return before downgrading his status to out after halftime.
  • Backup tackle Fred Johnson took over at right tackle and has filled in on multiple occasions this season.
  • It marks the second straight game Johnson has left with a lower-leg issue, after an ankle injury against Green Bay on Nov. 10 that he later played through.
  • This latest setback follows earlier Week 3 and Week 4 injuries (stinger and shoulder), renewing concern over protection continuity for Philadelphia’s offense.
