Lane Johnson’s Status for Eagles–49ers Wild Card Now a Game-Time Decision

The Eagles’ recent struggles without the six-time All-Pro make the pregame inactive list pivotal.

Overview

  • Johnson is listed as questionable after limited practices throughout the week, according to the team’s injury report.
  • NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported concern he could miss the game and called it a legitimate game-time decision, with Ian Rapoport echoing the concern.
  • The Eagles’ inactives will be announced at 3:00 p.m. ET Sunday, which will confirm whether he plays.
  • The right tackle has missed seven straight games with a Lisfranc foot injury suffered Nov. 16 and only returned to practice in a limited capacity.
  • Philadelphia went 3-4 without him in that span and is 18-28 in games he has missed in his career, underscoring his impact as the No. 3 seed hosts the No. 6 49ers at 4:30 p.m. ET.
