Eagles star Lane Johnson suffers SERIOUS ankle injury in week 10 game against Packers

GREEN BAY, WI — November 11, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles escaped Lambeau Field with a gritty 10–7 win over the Green Bay Packers, but the victory came at a cost. Veteran right tackle Lane Johnson suffered an ankle injury midway through the third quarter, briefly leaving the field and raising major concerns about the team’s offensive line depth.
Johnson appeared to twist his left ankle after getting tangled with a Packers defender on a routine pass protection play. He limped off the field in visible discomfort and was attended to by trainers before being taken to the medical tent. Backup lineman Fred Johnson replaced him for several series before the veteran returned late in the fourth quarter with heavy tape around his ankle.

After the game, head coach Nick Sirianni praised his player’s toughness:
“Lane’s as tough as they come. He wanted to be out there, and we’ll monitor him day by day. But it’ll take a lot to keep him off the field.”
According to Bleeding Green Nation and CBS Sports, the injury is being described as a mild ankle sprain, though the team will run further tests, including an MRI, to determine the severity. For now, there’s optimism that Johnson avoided major damage.
Still, with center Cam Jurgens already sidelined by a knee injury, the Eagles can’t afford another long-term absence on the offensive line. If Lane is forced to miss time, Fred Johnson or Brett Toth may rotate in — but the chemistry and veteran leadership he brings are irreplaceable.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts summed up Johnson’s impact best:
“He’s the heartbeat of our O-line. When Lane’s out there, we play with confidence.”
For now, Eagles fans breathe a cautious sigh of relief. The injury scare may not derail their season, but it’s a stark reminder of how fragile success can be — especially when your ironman starts limping.
