As the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> geared up for another training camp practice on Saturday, August 1, one of their star linemen was noticeably absent.<\/p>\n According to The Philadelphia Inquirer\u2019s Jeff McLane<\/a>, there was \u201cno sign\u201d of the star right tackle, Lane Johnson, at the start of practice.<\/p>\n GettyPHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA \u2013 DECEMBER 03: Lane Johnson #65 and Cam Jurgens #51 of the Philadelphia Eagles warms up prior to the game against the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> at Lincoln Financial Field on December 03, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Fred Johnson was at RT in his place during install,\u201d McLane reported on X. \u201cTackle Cam Williams, who left practice early with an injury on Thursday, is here, but he doesn\u2019t appear to be practicing.\u201d<\/p>\n Considering how important Lane Johnson is to the Eagles\u2019 offense, it\u2019s clearly concerning if he\u2019s dealing with some sort of setback. So far, the Eagles haven\u2019t confirmed the reason behind Johnson\u2019s absence, but it\u2019s something worth monitoring.<\/p>\n Lane Johnson\u2019s Injury Concerns GettyPHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA \u2013 JUNE 9: Lane Johnson #65 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on during mandatory minicamp at Jefferson Health Training Complex on June 9, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

And the Eagles have struggled to overcome his absences many times in the past.<\/p>\n GettyMETAIRIE, LOUISIANA \u2013 FEBRUARY 5: Offensive tackle Lane Johnson #65 of the Philadelphia Eagles participates in a team practice ahead of Super Bowl LIX at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center located at New Orleans Saints<\/a> headquarters on February 5, 2025 in Metairie, Louisiana.

(Photo by Michael DeMocker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n During the 2025 NFL<\/a> season, Johnson appeared in just 10 games. During a Week 11 game against the Detroit Lions<\/a>, Johnson sprained his foot. The Eagles kept the door open for him to potentially return later in the year, but he stayed off the field.<\/p>\n While the Eagles were optimistic about Johnson\u2019s chances of suiting up for their Wild Card Playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers, he was ultimately ruled out. Many wondered if the star lineman would call it a career after an injury-plagued year, but Johnson confirmed he would keep the ball rolling.<\/p>\n Heading into year 14, Johnson remains important to the Eagles\u2019 front line. His status moving forward will be something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJustin Grasso<\/a> Justin Grasso is an NBA\/NFL reporter, covering trending league news, transactions, injuries, and player developments.
