Report: Eagles' Johnson could return Week 16 vs. Commanders

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is eyeing a return for the Week 16 contest with the Washington Commanders or Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Johnson will miss his fourth-straight game Sunday due to a Lisfranc sprain. He's likely to begin practicing this week for the first time since suffering the ailment against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football in mid-November, Rapoport adds.

The 35-year-old suited up for the first 10 contests of the season. He's allowed seven pressures with zero sacks surrendered on 262 pass-blocking snaps in 2025, according to PFF.

Fred Johnson has filled in at right tackle amid the All-Pro's absence. Philly's offense has struggled this season, ranking 27th in success rate heading into the Week 15 visit from the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Eagles have lost three straight games but still lead the NFC East division with an 8-5 record.
