Will Lane Johnson play in the Philadelphia Eagles’ wild-card playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers?
Reports on this topic are everywhere this week.
To recap:
-
tuesday morning — Brian Baldinger, who is very close to Rian Johnson, appeared on The PHLY Anthony Gargano Show and said he didn’t think Rian would compete.
-
Wednesday to Friday — Ryan had a limited participation in practice and was ruled questionable on the final injury report.
-
Saturday afternoon — NFL insiders Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport noted that Johnson “will likely miss this game” and that he is “a legitimate game-time decision.” Jay Glazer added that Johnson is dealing with pain and swelling in his foot.
The latest report comes from 6ABC’s Jason Dumas, who has been told Johnson will be competing.
It’s hard to believe Johnson wouldn’t work really hard to get dressed. But even if he does play, we’ll have to see 1) if he can stay in the game and 2) how much he might be hampered.

We’ll have a clearer idea of Johnson’s status when the Eagles-49ers are announced Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET.
