Lane Johnson returns to Eagles after excused absence from training camp
Summary

Lane Johnson is back with the Philadelphia Eagles after an excused absence from training camp. The All-Pro right tackle missed most of the past week but is expected to practice on Friday. His absence was due to personal matters and not related to an injury. Johnson, who missed the final seven games of the 2025 season due to a Lisfranc injury, announced his return for the 2026 season earlier this year. His presence is crucial as the Eagles prepare for the upcoming season and adjust their offense under new coaching staff. He may also have a managed workload during training camp to ensure his health.
