Lane Johnson underwent ankle surgery in August

The Philadelphia Eagles have had numerous issues with their offensive line this offseason. Add another one to the list. Right tackle Lane Johnson had ankle surgery in August. Not great!

Eagles tackle Lane Johnson had surgery on his ankle in August, according to sources, helping to explain his extended absence at training camp. It was described as a "clean out" by a source. Johnson returned to practice in a limited capacity this week.

​I'll never understand why in the NFL, they are just like, "oh yeah, a simple surgery to clean out my knee/ankle." But anyways.

​Johnson has since returned to practice this week. Even as a limited participant, that is good news for a team that does not need any more problems as far as the O-line goes. Brandon Brooks and Andre Dillard are both gone for the season with injuries.
