Ankle injury expected to linger Coach Doug Pederson said Johnson's ankle injury will linger, and "he's going to have to play through it," Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact It appears this is something that may need offseason rehab, so Johnson will have to tough it out for now. If it indeed lingers all season, Johnson likely will be a regular on the injury report, logging limited sessions and probably a handful of DNPs. When he took snaps off in Sunday's win over the 49ers, rookie Jack Driscoll filled in at right tackle.

Return questionable Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against San Francisco, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Johnson went to the locker room early, then got back into the game, only to check himself back out a few plays later. If Johnson can't return to the contest after his most recent setback with the ankle, Jack Driscoll will take over at right tackle.

Able to return Johnson (undisclosed) was able to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers after being taken to the locker room earlier, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Impact Johnson was taken to the locker room, presumably with an injury, after the opening drive. He reemerged later in the first quarter, giving the injury-depleted Eagles offensive line a much-needed boost.

Impact Johnson has been battling an ankle injury recently, but it's unclear if this trip to the locker room is related to that injury. Jack Driscoll took over at right tackle for an Eagles team that's now down four starters along the offensive line.

Impact it was clear Johnson wasn't playing in this past Sunday's loss to Washington by the way the Eagles' offensive line got handled. However, the 30-year-old tackle has shaken off the injury, so he should be ready to start in Week 2's clash against the Rams.

Deems himself ready for Week 2 Johnson (ankle) relayed that he'll be ready for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Derrick Gunn of The Gunn On One Podcast reports.
Impact Johnson told Gunn to "count on it" when asked if he'll play in Week 2, and considering the veteran RT appeared on track to play Week 1 before being a surprise scratch, he'll likely be in the fold. The Eagles' offensive line has been decimated by injuries and allowed eight sacks to Washington in the opener, so Johnson's return will be a major boost.

Sitting out Sunday Johnson (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.
Impact Johnson seemed to be trending in the right direction early Sunday and he was expected to see the field. The veteran underwent offseason surgery on his ankle in August and it seems he's not yet healthy enough to take the field. With Johnson sidelined Sunday, look for rookie fourth-round pick Jack Driscoll to take the reigns at right tackle for his first career start.

On track to play Sunday Johnson (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, is expected to play, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Eagles' starting right tackle was limited in practice all week by an ankle injury. Tim McManus of ESPN.com reported Friday that Johnson underwent "cleanup" surgery on the ankle back in August, so he's presumably just getting himself back to full strength rather than dealing with a nagging issue. The Eagles will wait and see how Johnson fares in warmups before deciding on his fate, but if the team decides to be cautious and holds the three-time Pro Bowler out, rookie fourth-round pick Jack Driscoll would be in line for his first NFL start.

Offseason surgery revealed Johnson underwent surgery on his ankle in August and his frequent absences throughout training camp were caused by his recovery, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Johnson practiced in a limited capacity all week as the team continues to manage his recovery. The ankle injury ended his 2019 season prematurely, forcing him to miss the final three regular season games and the wild-card round contest as well. If Johnson is out in Week 1 against Washington, the Eagles will likely have to rely on Jack Driscoll -- who has never made a start at tackle in the NFL -- at right tackle.
