Lane Johnson’s Lisfranc Sprain Sidelines Eagles RT for 4–6 Weeks, Per Reports

The multi-week absence threatens a sputtering offense, with an injured‑reserve move likely.

Overview

  • Johnson left Sunday night’s win over the Lions with a foot injury later diagnosed as a Lisfranc sprain, with multiple outlets reporting a 4–6 week timetable.
  • ESPN reported the injury is not expected to end his season, and he is a candidate for an injured‑reserve stint.
  • Swing tackle Fred Johnson replaced him against Detroit, with Brett Toth in reserve, as center Cam Jurgens’ status for Week 12 remains unclear after he also exited.
  • Philadelphia’s offense has lagged this season — bottom‑five in yards and passing output with poor third‑down and EPA metrics — and the team is 15–23 historically when Johnson does not play.
  • The defense continued to steady results by holding Detroit to nine points in a 16–9 win that moved the Eagles to 8–2 heading into a road game at Dallas.
