The Philadelphia Eagles received relatively good news on Monday, learning that Lane Johnson's ankle injury isn't believed to be serious.
suffered a lateral right ankle sprain, NFL Media reported Monday. Johnson underwent an MRI on Monday, determining that his injury will put his status in doubt for next Sunday's game against theJohnson, 33, suffered the injury on the Eagles' opening drive, when his right ankle was rolled up on. He subsequently left the game and didn't return after a medical evaluation, with initial X-rays returning negative.
The 11-year vet has been a pivotal player for the Eagles since they drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013. He's particularly ascended over the handful of seasons, earning two first-team All-Pro nods in 2017 and 2022. He was also named second-team All-Pro in 2021 and was elected to be a Pro Bowler in four of the last six seasons.
Johnson underwent adductor surgery shortly after the season ended, sidelining him from offseason activities for three months. Just days prior to suffering his ankle injury, Johnson told reporters that he was starting to get back to full strength and his usual self following the surgery. "Pretty good," Johnson said of how he felt eight months post-surgery."I feel like really the first part of the season just trying to focus on my body, recovering well from the surgery. You get that kind of surgery, you get a little bit of scar tissue so just handling that week to week. Feel like that's gotten better as the year's gone on. That's really it. I'm just trying to feel good and not tear my groin again.
The Eagles would obviously like to have Johnson available for their major Week 7 tilt against the 5-1 Dolphins, a potential Super Bowl preview. Week 7 is the start of the toughest stretch of the season of the Eagles' schedule, playing six of their next seven games against opponents that are perceived to be Super Bowl contenders.2023 NFL Bad Beats: Late safety sinks Patriots bettors vs. RaidersBears fall to Vikings — and lose Justin Fields.
