Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a Lisfranc sprain in his foot, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.

Johnson suffered the injury during Sunday night's victory over the Detroit Lions. He's reportedly seeking other opinions on the issue and will undergo more tests.

The Eagles will likely place Johnson on injured reserve, but the belief is that the injury won't end his season, according to Rapoport.

Johnson has been the heart and soul of the Eagles' offensive line since being drafted in the first round in 2013. The 35-year-old has made 168 starts for the franchise, earning six Pro Bowl selections and two First-Team All-Pro nods.

Fred Johnson is expected to fill in for the injured veteran.

The 8-2 Eagles are tied with the Los Angeles Rams for the best record in the NFC.
