The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for their NFC wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers, but they will be without a crucial player. Star tackle Lane Johnson has been ruled out due to ongoing injury issues.
Lane Johnson’s Injury Status
Lane Johnson has been dealing with an ankle injury that affected his performance during the regular season. This season, he participated in only 10 games, his lowest total since 2020. Despite being a five-time All-Pro, Johnson will miss the playoffs, impacting the Eagles’ offensive line.

Johnson was considered questionable throughout the week, but his status was confirmed just hours before the game. His absence is a significant blow for the Eagles as they prepare to face a formidable 49ers team.
49ers’ Inactive Players
On the other side, the 49ers also have notable absences that may affect their performance. Key players such as Ricky Pearsall, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, and Brandon Aiyuk are not participating in this matchup.

Trent Williams’ Availability
Interestingly, Trent Williams, an All-Pro tackle for the 49ers, will play despite missing practice earlier in the week. His return adds strength to the 49ers’ offensive line as they face the Eagles.
As the playoffs begin, both teams will have to contend with these key injuries. The dynamics of the game may shift significantly due to the absence of stars such as Lane Johnson and several Pro Bowlers for the 49ers.
