Overview
- Johnson announced he will play in 2026 and said he didn’t want his career to end on the foot injury that ended his 2025 season.
- The Lisfranc sprain occurred in Week 11 in November 2025, kept him out of the final regular-season games and the Wild Card loss, and he only felt fully recovered around February or March.
- Johnson practiced without apparent limitation at mandatory minicamp, taking every rep with the starting offense and saying he currently “feels good.”
- Longtime O-line coach Jeff Stoutland left this offseason and Chris Kuper now coaches the line while Sean Mannion installs a West Coast/Shanahan-style scheme that Johnson says should help the run game and pass protection.
- Johnson weighed retirement because of family and age but chose to continue playing, a decision that stabilizes the Eagles’ right tackle spot and could affect how the team deploys its new offensive concepts this season.
