Lane Johnson

Lane Johnson is returning to play for the Philadelphia Eagles in the upcoming 2026 season.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson had been rumored to be mulling a potential retirement after the 2025 season ended, but the veteran offensive tackle will return to anchor the Philadelphia offensive line for head coach Nick Sirianni as the Eagles offense will look to get back on track in 2026.

All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson is reportedly mulling over retirement this offseason. The news comes on the heels of long-time offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland announcing that he was stepping down.

Johnson, 35, was limited to 10 games for the Eagles in 2025 after a Lisfranc injury kept him out of action for the final seven regular season games as well as Philadelphia's playoff loss to the 49ers in the Wild Card round. Johnson signed an extension through 2027 and expressed confidence that he would play out the deal - but that came before his injury-limiting season. Johnson has started all 168 of his appearances with the Eagles and is a six-time Pro Bowler, a five-time All-Pro selection, and a two-time Super Bowl champion. Even if Johnson holds off on retirement, expect the Eagles to attempt to focus on offensive linemen in free agency and in the upcoming draft.
