After starting the first three weeks of the Philadelphia Eagles' season, Lane Johnson was surprisingly placed on the inactives list, missing Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams due to personal reasons.
On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, Lane Johnson announced his immediate retirement. The right tackle has had an incredibly successful 14-year career with the Eagles. He is a two-time All Pro, 6x Pro Bowler, and a two-time Super Bowl Champion, and he served as the team captain for the 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 seasons.
Lane Johnson shared on social media:
I deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year; to take the field with my brothers for one last season. But after a lot of reflection, I've realized that my personal and family priorities have changed. Right now it is critical that I focus on my mental health.
Philadelphia's offensive line has already struggled to find consistency early in the season, making the loss of Lane Johnson a huge setback. His absence leaves a significant void as the Eagles look to stabilize their offensive front.
