Eagles All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson retires midseason after 14 years
A rare midseason retirement, explained in Johnson's own words.
Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson, 36, retired after 14 seasons, saying that despite wanting to finish the season, his "personal and family priorities in my life have changed." A 2013 first-round pick, he was a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro and won two Super Bowls. He took a leave during the 2021 season for anxiety and depression and has since spoken about it at mental health clinics. Owner Jeffrey Lurie called him "an all-time Eagle."
