Lane Johnson Out 4-6 Weeks with Lysfranc Foot Sprain, Eagles Hopeful for Return

Philadelphia Eagles all-pro right tackle Lane Johnson is expected to miss at least four to six weeks after suffering a Lysfranc foot sprain in the first quarter of the Eagles' win over the Detroit Lions. Johnson, 35, limped off the field and did not return, marking what will be his longest layoff since season-ending ankle surgery in 2020. The Eagles are hopeful this injury, which involves a tear or stretching of a foot ligament, is not season-ending, but he is expected to be placed on Injured Reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of four games. This adds to a season where the Eagles' offensive line, considered the league's best, has been decimated by injuries to Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Johnson himself (who also missed time with an ankle and neck injury earlier). Johnson, in his 13th season, is a six-time Pro Bowler and five-time all-pro. Fred Johnson, a solid backup, is expected to step in, having been re-acquired from Jacksonville and playing well this year, often as an extra tight end.
