Eagles make final Lane Johnson decision before 49ers Wild Card game
Lane Johnson missed the wild-card game due to a Lisfranc foot injury; the Eagles are 8-2 this season with him playing, Fred Johnson started at right tackle.
- On Sunday, Lane Johnson is inactive for the Eagles' NFC Wild Card game against the San Francisco 49ers, a decision the Eagles announced on their game‑day inactives after NFL Network first reported it.
- Sidelined since Week 11 with a Lisfranc sprain, Lane Johnson has missed seven games and will sit out his eighth due to the lingering foot injury.
- Johnson returned to practice earlier this week but was limited Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, did not appear in pregame warmups, and Mike Garafolo said the team decided he hadn't done enough to play.
- With Lane Johnson out, veteran Fred Johnson will start at right tackle, as the Eagles are 8-2 with him versus 3-4 without him this season.
- Throughout the week teammates lauded Johnson's presence and production, a six‑time Pro Bowler whose absence shifts the Eagles' playoff advancement scenario if they win and face Chicago Bears.
