Lane Johnson is returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane, Johnson will return for his 14th season.

Johnson, 35, missed the final eight games of his injury-riddled 2025 campaign, including the Eagles’ wild-card playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, because of a Lisfranc foot injury.

The 2013 No. 4 overall pick is a six-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro who has helped Philly reach three Super Bowls and win its first two rings in franchise history.

Johnson is a cornerstone of the Eagles offensive line and has been the most valuable player for the Eagles offensive-line and should provide some strong continuity as the team transitions to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.

Longtime O-Line coach Jeff Stoutland resigned earlier this month, and Chris Kuper — a former Denver Broncos guard who most recently coached with the Minnesota Vikings — will serve as his replacement.
