Lane Johnson addresses his future as he prepares for potential final NFL season
Summary

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson confirmed that he is approaching his final season in the NFL during a radio appearance on 94WIP Sports Radio. The 36-year-old veteran previously contemplated retirement following a 2025 campaign in which he played only 10 games due to a Lisfranc injury.
