Philadelphia’s starting right tackle might be able to play in Week 16.
Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson is “likely to return to practice this week,” according to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
RapSheet adds that Johnson has “eyes on facing the Commanders or Bills.”
Johnson returning sooner than later from the Lisfranc injury that’s caused him to miss at least four games would obviously be ideal. The Eagles have struggled in his absence, as is usually the case.
But it remains to be seen if Johnson will be ready to play against Washington in Week 16. Maybe it doesn’t make a big difference but it’s worth noting that next weekend’s game is on a Saturday instead of a Sunday.
We’ll see just how much work Johnson is able to do in practice this week. Until he’s ready to play, it’ll continue to be Fred Johnson playing at right tackle.
Regardless of exactly when it happens, the Eagles will be glad to get Lane back.
