Overview

  • Johnson told The Philadelphia Inquirer he will return for a 14th season, then reinforced it with a photo on X.
  • He missed the final stretch of 2025 and the Wild Card loss with a Lisfranc foot injury and has continued his rehab.
  • He remains under contract through 2027, with a reported $20.3 million 2026 cap charge and a $9 million option bonus due September 1.
  • Philadelphia is reshaping its offense with new coordinator Sean Mannion and new offensive line coach Chris Kuper after Jeff Stoutland’s departure.
  • The Eagles were 8-2 with Johnson and 3-5 without him in 2025, and his return provides roster and draft clarity; separate reports indicate guard Landon Dickerson also plans to play in 2026.
