- Coaches and doctors plan to evaluate how his right foot responds to on-field work before any decision on playing the 49ers.
- Opinions diverged as ESPN’s Adam Schefter said he expects Johnson to play, while analyst Brian Baldinger expressed doubt; the team has not issued a determination.
- Philadelphia went 3-4 without the All-Pro this season, and Nick Sirianni called him a difference-maker as he works toward a potential return.
- San Francisco began the week with several injuries, including LT Trent Williams and WR Ricky Pearsall not practicing, while the Eagles also saw LB Nakobe Dean limited in his return.
